Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Why are the outer planets more gaseous than the inner planets? Because they formed in the cooler region of the solar nebula and therefore did not loose their lighter gases. Because they have their gases they are not as dense as the inner planets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Inner planets are smaller than outer planets because they are closer to the Sun. The outer planets, like Uranus and Neptune, which are further from their stars have weaker gravity than the inner planets. The vast space and gravity of the Sun within the outer planets allowed the outer planets to grow massively.
