Why are Inner Planets Rocky and Outer Planets Gaseous?

What are inner planets? And What are outer planets?
We all know the solar system contains two kinds of planets. The first four, Mercury through Mars, are quite small in size, and they are rocky planets, also called “terrestrial planets”. 
 
 The outer four are gaseous giants: from Jupiter to Neptune, they are called “Jovian planets” and they are immense balls of gas, with a central core. 
 
 While conditions on these planets can be very different from one another, each type of planet shares some similarities and offers its own set of challenges when it comes to exploration and observation. But where does this difference come from? Do all solar systems have rocky planets closer to their stars? 
 Follow me in this video to get to know the answer to these questions, and more.

The Sun didn't want to be next to stinky gas planets so it blew them away.

"why are inner planet rocky and outer planet gaseous?" U didnt explain that... Please dont try to misdirect viewers with title... Hope u'll take it as constructive critic.

Love this one! I've always been fascinated by the gas giants.. they're so freaking weird! I want to really see what the core and 'surface' of Neptune...It's so interesting that the rocky planets are all oranized inward and the gas giants are outward...Can't be a coincidence

[richardmercer]

The inner planets got first pick and took all the rocks. Nothing left but gas for the outer planets. 😛

[horizonbrave]

Ohh that tease at the end with "Orbital migrations"...yes please!

I have a theory about this presented in IAU symposia last August. It will come out in IAU Processing in a few months. I hope my theory will be in your video one of these days.

I like to go another planet, just to get away from this planet.

I really enjoyed this video. Thank you.

I don't understand why this topic needs to be a whole video. Its really simple, in a protoplanetary disk, the newly formed star is at the centre, it takes up most of the gas and dust closest to it, but in the outer section less gas and dust is being taken by the star, so bigger and more massive planets (gas giants) are able to form. There is less available material for a planet to form the closer you get to a star

SPOILER ALERT:
"Why are Inner Planets Rocky and Outer Planets Gaseous" Because the heavy particles always fall to the bottum.

[mm-dwrr]

Why is it you always answers the questions l truly want answered. Neat. ✔

[Mephilis]

Oh no, not another war between Belters and Inners!

[koroproductions]

How come nobody ever shows the fact there is no disck, because the sun isn't static. It's moving through space and the planets are going in a corkscrew pattern chasing after. This is important.

They call Jupiter through Neptune planets when they're even more dissimilar to Mercury through Mars than Pluto is.

[rafars]

There's no why, it's just coincidence.

[sburton]

At least the is one outer planet that is rocky which is Pluto

[_Mr-M_]

this was all very but then why is pluto a rocky planet?

[jordyboi]

I always thought Neptune was an ocean planet, makes sense to be named after the Roman God of the sea... Pluto looks like solid rock too
Uranus is most definitely gassy 🤣
