 * · What is the difference between the inner planets and outer planets? **
 *  The difference between the inner planets, are that they are mostly rock based, and that the outer planets are made of gas and have several rings. **

** · Describe the force called gravity. **

** Because of gravity, the sun keeps all 9 planets in its orbit. **

** Gravity is mass that when a star collapses, it can force anything around it in to itself. Nothing can escape, even light. That is why it s called a //Black Hole//. **

**Mercury **
