Gas giant planets are not known to be geologically active, since their cores are under a hot, dense lower atmosphere.
A larger terrestrial planet, however, might exhibit a greater segregation of heavier metals in the core, as on Earth, leaving the lighter minerals more likely to be affected by tidal forces.
The inner planets are smaller than the outer planets.
No. They are usually smaller.
Planets are generally larger than asteroids. Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun, while planets are larger celestial objects that have cleared their orbit of other debris. Some asteroids can be quite large, but they are still dwarfed by the size of planets.
Of the seven other planets that orbit the sun, three are smaller than Earth and four are larger.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are much larger than earth. Venus (slightly), Mars (by half) and Mercury are smaller than earth.
No. Smaller planets become geologically dead sooner. A larger planet has a larger volume and thus a larger heat reservoir than a smaller planet and so can remain geologically active for longer.
Mass does not change with gravity. Weight increases on BIGGER planets and decreases on smaller planets.
smaller
No. They are usually smaller.
The inner planets are smaller than the outer planets.
the planets do not get smaller the father they go... they range from all different sizes some are larger than get smaller, some are smaller then get larger...look it up at your library~ it is very interesting

The rocky inner planets are much smaller. That's why the giants are called giants.

They are farther away and have larger orbital periods.
