The inner planets travel a greater distance than the outer planets do.

The outer planets rotate as they orbit the sun, and the inner planets do not.

Detailed explanation-1: -The four inner planets have shorter orbits, slower spin, no rings, and they are made of rock and metal. The four outer planets have longer orbits, faster spins, a composition of gases and liquids, numerous moons, and rings. The outer planets are made of hydrogen and helium, so they are called gas giants.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Sun is the only star in our solar system. It is the center of our solar system, and its gravity holds the solar system together. Everything in our solar system revolves around it – the planets, asteroids, comets, and tiny bits of space debris.
Detailed explanation-3: -Solar System. The Sun’s gravity holds the inner planets tightly as they revolve around the Sun. The orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars revolve faster than the outer planets because they have less distance to travel.
