An outer planet is a planet in our solar system that is located beyond the asteroid belt. These planets are also known as gas giants because they are primarily composed of gases like hydrogen and helium. The outer planets include:
1. Jupiter: It is the largest planet in our solar system and is known for its massive size and distinct bands of clouds.
2. Saturn: Saturn is famous for its beautiful rings made up of ice particles and dust.
3. Uranus: Uranus is unique because it rotates on its side, making it appear to roll around the sun.
4. Neptune: Neptune is the farthest planet from the sun and is known for its deep blue color and strong winds.
These outer planets are different from the inner planets (like Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) in terms of their composition, size, and distance from the sun.
