Which planets belong to the outer planets group?

The group of planets known as the outer planets consists of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These planets are located beyond the asteroid belt and are characterized as gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn) and ice giants (Uranus and Neptune).

Outer planets are significantly larger than inner planets and have thick atmospheres primarily made up of hydrogen, helium, and other gases. They also have complex ring systems and numerous moons. The outer solar system is distinct from the inner solar system, which includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, which are rocky planets and much smaller in size. By identifying the group containing Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, you recognize the correct classification of these giants within our solar system.
