Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike the terrestrial planets that make up our inner solar system-Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars-the Jovian planets do not have solid surfaces. Instead, they are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, with traces of methane, ammonia, water, and other gases in their atmospheres.
Detailed explanation-2: -There is no difference between the distances of the orbits of the inner planets and the outer planets. The planets are all equally distanced from each other.
