\nThe solar system is broadly divided into inner and outer planets, separated by the asteroid belt. The inner planets are the four planets closest to the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These are also known as terrestrial planets due to their rocky composition. The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, which are gas giants. Therefore, the inner planets are located between the Sun and the belt of asteroids.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– Inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
\n– The asteroid belt lies between Mars and Jupiter.
\n– Inner planets are located closer to the Sun than the asteroid belt.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe inner planets are smaller, denser, and have solid surfaces compared to the outer gas giants. The asteroid belt is a torus-shaped region in the Solar System, located roughly between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter, that is occupied by a great many irregularly shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets.
