The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks whether planets in the solar system get farther apart as we move outward from the Sun. 2. **Identifying the Planets**: The planets in our solar system, starting from the Sun, are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. 3. **Analyzing Distances**: - The distance between the planets is not uniform. - For example, the distance between Mercury and Venus is much smaller than the distance between Neptune and Uranus. 4. **Observing the Pattern**: - As we move outward from the Sun, the distances between successive planets tend to increase. - This means that the farther we go from the Sun, the greater the distance between each planet. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, it is true that planets get farther apart as we travel outward through the solar system. ---
