Answer 1

The four inner planets have shorter orbits, slower spin, no rings, and they are made of rock and metal. The four outer planets have longer orbits, faster spins, a composition of gases and liquids, numerous moons, and rings. The outer planets are made of hydrogen and helium, so they are made of hydrogen and helium, so they are called gas giants.

Answer 2

The following statements are true when comparing inner planets to outer planets:

- Inner planets are rocky.

- Outer planets are gaseous.

- Inner planets are denser than outer planets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following statements are true when comparing inner planets to outer planets:

- Inner planets are rocky.

- Outer planets are gaseous.

- Inner planets are denser than outer planets.

The statement "Outer planets are very small, while inner planets are quite large" is false. In fact, the outer planets are generally much larger than the inner planets.

The statement "Outer planets are colder than inner planets" is also generally false. While the outer planets are further from the Sun and thus receive less sunlight, they also have internal heat sources and some, such as Jupiter and Saturn, actually radiate more heat into space than they receive from the Sun. Additionally, the surface temperatures of the inner planets can be quite extreme due to their proximity to the Sun.
