PLANET
A celestial body that orbits the sun, is round because of its own gravity, and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbital path

INNER PLANETS
Formed from much heavier elements such as iron and nickel, with the densest layers settling in the center. Smaller, rockier, and denser than the outer planets
Includes: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars

OUTER PLANETS
Formed in a much colder area, thus they did not lose their gases (helium and hydrogen). Larger gaseous planets.
Includes: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
