Why didn't the outer planets lose the lighter gases in their atmospheres?
I really need help if you could explain this to me. I'm begging you.
1. ) They have more mass, and thus more gravity to hold on to their atmospheres.
2. ) They are more distant from the Sun, so the solar winds that have stripped the atmospheres of Mercury and Mars, for example, down to practically nothing, are not as strong.
Yes it is

This is for lesson 4 unit 3 the outer planets
I don't understand your question.
The outer planets are bigger. Therefore they have more mass, meaning they have a stronger pull of gravity which is keeping the gas from floating away.
Yes lol
