Scientists refer to half of the planets as inner planets because they are relatively close to the sun. they refer to the other half as outer planets. using the data in the table, classify the planets into one of the two groups.

Inner planets are the planet which is near to the sun while outer planets are the planets far away from the sun. The inner planets are mercury, venus earth, mass. While the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

Inner planets are the planet which is near to the sun. The inner planets are mercury, venus earth, mass. the criteria to define the inner and outer planet will be the distance with respect to the sun.

The outer planets are the planets far away from the sun. the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

Hence the inner planets are mercury, venus earth, mass. While the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

You've made it very very very very difficult for us to "... use the data in the table ...", by simply not letting us see the table.

However, we're used to that kind of thing here at .  You see, we have done so much with so little for so long that NOW, we can do nearly anything with almost nothing in virtually no time.  

Hence and therefore, despite your best efforts to render this question impenetrable due to acute lack of data, I was able to walk a short distance down the hall, and consult with today's Astronomy expert.  When I showed him the question, he chortled, and quoth:  "ANYbody could answer this one if they HAVE the data in the table, but if you're really , you know jour stoff, and jou don need no stinkin table."

-- The "inner planets" are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

-- The "outer planets" are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

-- Pluto used to be an 'outer' planet too, but now it's not even a planet.  How the mighty have fallen !
