Option 2 : 2 and 3 only

The correct answer is 2 only.

  • Mars has only 2 natural satellites (moons).
    • Saturn has the highest number of natural satellites i.e. 82. Hence statement 1 is not correct.
  • The inner planets are very close to the sun and they are made up of rocks. Hence statement 2 is correct.
  • Our solar system is having two types of planets: Inner planets and Outer planets.
    • Inner planets include the nearest four planets around the Sun namely Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
      • They are having a dense and rocky composition and referred to as terrestrial planets.
      • They are mostly made of iron and nickel.
      • Venus is the hottest inner planet and Mercury is the second densest after the Earth.
    • The outer planets include the last four planets of the solar system namely Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
      • They are referred to as gas giants or Jovian planets.
      • They are massive and have a gaseous composition.
      • They have a thick atmosphere mostly of helium and hydrogen.
    • Hence, statement 3 is correct.

From the above, we can conclude that statement 2 and 3 are correct.
