1 This is particularly important in the context of aviation insurance regulation-assignment of a policy would mean assigning the benefit of a policy to the bank which is illegal in the context of some insurance eg passenger insurance.
Outer Planets. The next four planets out from the sun are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They are collectively referred to as the Jovian planets (means Jupiter like). They are significantly different from the terrestrial planets. Besides being farther from the sun, the Jovian planets are much larger, are more gaseous, have lower densities, and all have some sort of rings. Their large sizes are responsible for increased gravity which can hold onto lighter elements like gases. A belt of asteroids (fragments of rock and iron) between Mars and Jupiter separate the four inner planets from the five outer planets. Pluto, which fits in with neither the terrestrial or the Jovian planets, is actually considered a Kuiper Belt object which we will see in more depth on the Kuiper Belt page.
In the inner Solar System, we find the âInner Planetsâ â Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars â which are so named because they orbit closest to the Sun. In addition to their proximity, these planets have a number of key differences that set them apart from planets elsewhere in the Solar System.For starters, the inner planets are rocky and terrestrial, composed mostly of silicates and metals, whereas the outer planets are gas giants.The inner planets are also much more closely spaced than their outer Solar System counterparts.he outer planets, meanwhile, often have dozens of satellites and rings composed of particles of ice and rock. The terrestrial inner planets are composed largely of refractory minerals, such as the silicates, which form their crusts and mantles, and metals such as iron and nickel which form their cores.
