compare and contrast the outer planets and the inner planets.
A star starts as a cloud of gas and dust then gravity causes it to move closer together then temperature rises then the cloud gets hot and dense so the atoms in it merge.
The both are planets. the outer planets are like aball of gas, most have rings, and are large but the inner planets are solid, small, and rocky.
