List two general differences between inner and outer planets.

Astronomy.

Inner planets are smaller than the outer planets; gas giants have more gravity; Farther apart, inner planets have a solid surface, Inner planets are hotter, inner planets have a shorter period of revolution. Distance from the sun causes these differences.

Explanation:

The four inner planets have slower orbits, slower spin, no rings, and they are made of rock and metal.

The four outer planets have faster orbits and spins, a composition of gases and liquids, numerous moons, and rings.

The outer planets are made of hydrogen and helium, so they are called gas giants.

the rocks are classified by the geological process they are formed by. the three main groups of rocks are igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. minerals are not they are classified under the chemical classes they are in. these groups include silicates, sulfates and carbonates.
