jamesj · Answer

Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus are all gas giants, and quite different from the 'solid' inner planets: Mercury to Mars.

Hence which pair are similar?

jamesj · Answer

It has to be one of the first two pairs.

Now the question is, what are the differences between the members of each of those pairs?

I believe it would be Jupiter and Neptune. But also the inner planets that are together in the choices would be mercury and venus. So I'm quite indecisive. Yeah I'm trying to find that out right now. Thank you

Let me see if I can figure it out. But I am leaning towards Jupiter and Neptune.
