Planets

Question 2 • AZ-Earth and Space Science A (SC301)

Which phrase best describes the outer planets?

Answer
A
rocky with few moons
B
gaseous with slow rotations
C
dense with few moons
D
gaseous with low density

Explanation

The outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—are mostly made of gas and ice, so they have relatively low average densities compared with rocky inner planets. Choice D, “gaseous with low density,” best describes them. They also tend to have many moons and rotate quickly, so choices A, B, and C do not fit as well.
