Inner Vs. Outer By: Gabby Glenn
Inner Planets Terrestrial Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars • Composed mostly of rock and heavy metal • Have few or no moons • No rings • Average 58-228 million km from the sun • Small and dense • Rotation periods range from .99 to 243 days • Revolution periods range from 87.97 days to 1.88 years • Diameters range from 4,878 to 12,756 km
Outer Planets Jovian Planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune • Are Gaseous with liquid cores • Dozens of moons • Rings made out of ice and rock • Averages 778.5million- 4.5 billion km from the sun • Rotation period ranges from .41 to 6.39 days • Revolution periods range from 11.86 to 248.59 years • Diameters range from 48,600 to 142,800 km
Pluto • A planet must orbit around the sun, have sufficient mass for its self gravity to make a sphere shape, and it must clear its neighborhood around its orbit. • Pluto has not cleared its neighborhood.
