SCI.6.10d

The closer two objects are together, the stronger the gravitational force is between them.

True

False

The four planets closest to the Sun are called the inner planets. They are considered terrestrial planets, meaning they are made of rock. Some of them have a thin atmosphere of gas surrounding the planet. The core is the inner part of the planet and made up mostly of metals like iron and nickel.
The four outer planets are gas giants. These planets are very far from the Sun. They don't have a hard surface that a spacecraft can land on. Instead, they are giant balls of very cold gases. Astronomers think that these planets have hot, solid cores deep beneath their atmospheres.

Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the evidence above?

The smaller the planet, the closer to the Sun it is located

The more dense the planet, the closer to the Sun it is located

Planets with gaseous atmospheres are far from the Sun

Only gas planets have a core

Saturn is the largest planet in the solar system.
