What are the rules summarising planetary movements called?
The rules summarizing planetary movements are called Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion. These laws were formulated by the astronomer Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century and describe the orbits of planets around the Sun.
What makes the inner planets different from the outer planets?

Because they are in the asteroid belt. The planets that are outside of the asteroid belt are called the outer planets.
