Question
choose the 3 correct statements about the inner planets
have few or no moons
are relatively smaller in size
have faster orbital velocities
are known as \gas giants\
are larger in size
have shorter days (faster rotation)
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have few or no moons (Mercury and Venus have none, Earth has 1, Mars has 2 small ones). They are relatively smaller in size compared to outer planets. Due to their closer proximity to the Sun, they have faster orbital velocities. The outer planets are known as "gas - giants". Inner planets are not larger in size and do not generally have shorter days (faster rotation, Venus has a very slow rotation).
