How does the relative distance and length of year of outer planets compare with those of inner planets?

When compared with inner planets, the outer planets are relatively farther from the sun and have a longer year.
When compared with inner planets, the outer planets are relatively farther from the sun and have a shorter year.

Answer:

When compared with inner planets, the outer planets are relatively farther from the sun and have a longer year.

Step-by-step explanation:

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The inner planets are inner, compared to the others in distance from the Sun-they are closer than the outer planets to the sun. A year is how long a planet takes to orbit the Sun. The further away, the larger the orbit. The larger the orbit, the more time it takes for a planet to orbit the Sun. It is the same concept as you traveling 2 miles versus 200 miles. The longer distance takes the longer time. The time/distance concept rules out the second answer choice, the closer/farther info rules out the third answer, and both information rules out the last answer choice. Through both logic and the process of elimination, the only correct answer is the first one.
