Question

Earth has one moon and mars has two moons. how many more moons are found around the outer planets than the inner planets?

Answer 1

There are 8 planets in the solar system. 4 inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Mercury and Venus don't have any moons. Earth has one moon. Mars has two moons.

The 4 outer planets are: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Jupiter has 67 moons, Saturn has 62 moons, Uranus has 27 and Neptune has 14 moons.

The outer planets have about 167 more moons than inner planets. Thus, outer planets have many more moons than inner planets.

Answer 2

The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune while the inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The outer planets have more moons than the inner planets because these planets are much larger than the inner ones. The inner planets are terrestrial while larger ones are called gas giants, mostly made up of gas.
