What four inner planets are larger than the outer planets?
The inner planets are smaller than the outer planets.
How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
What are the tiny planets?
Objects that are smaller than planets are called "dwarf planets"; even smaller objects are called "asteroids".
What are the four planets larger than the earth and what are the smaller planets then the earth?
The four planets larger than Earth are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The smaller planets than Earth are Mercury, Venus, and Mars.
Why does the dwarf planet Pluto have a lower temperature than the eight major planets?
Pluto has a lower temperature because it is further from the sun than any of the eight planets.
Which are further away from earthstars or plants?
Stars are much further away from earth than the planets. The nearest star other than the sun is over four light years away.
What four inner planets are larger than the outer planets?
The inner planets are smaller than the outer planets.
Which of the planets are further from the sun?
The first four are the smaller `Rocky` planets, then the last four are known as the 'gas giants'. The gas giants are further out from the sun, with Neptune being the furthest planet away from our sun (in our solar system). Pluto is further out still, but since 2006 it has been downgraded to a 'Dwarf Planet', so is no longer a `planet`. There have been a few other dwarf planets discovered that are even further out than Pluto, but of similar size, such as Makemake and Sedna.
Are there more gas planets than rock planets?
Of the 8 planets, four are rocky and four are gas planets, so there are equal numbers.
How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
Are there planets further than our solar system?
Yes. They are called "exoplanets" and they orbit other stars. They have only been detected recently.
Why do the planets closet to the sun move faster than planets that are further?
they have a greater distance to travel
How many planets are closer to the Sun than Jupiter?
There are four planets closer to the Sun than Jupiter: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
Which planet is known as cold planet?
All the ones further out than the Earth, in contrast to the ones with inner orbits, called 'hot' planets.
Do the planets look smaller than the sun because they are further away?
Yes, the planets appear smaller than the sun in the sky because they are much further away from the Earth compared to the sun. The sun is much larger than any of the planets in our solar system.
Where do the dwarf planets lie?
In the Asteroid belt or further out than Uranus.
Which planets have an orbital speed of less than 18 km per second?
Jupiter, and planets further away from the Sun than Jupiter.
