A

The inner planets are rocky and have diameters of less than 13,000 kilometers. The outer planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The outer planets are called gas giants and have a diameter of greater than 48,000 kilometers.

B

The inner planets are closer to the Sun and are smaller and rockier. The outer planets are further away, larger and made up mostly of gas. The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Roderick Hays · Answer 2

Gravity from the sun affected the materials that were in each ring around the sun, the heavier rocks were closer to it. The inner planets are smaller and have less space between them, and the inner planets are rocky and the outer are gas giants.
