The statement that accurately describes the outer planets is:
**The outer planets have a high gravity due to their large size.**
The outer planets, also known as the gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn) and ice giants (Uranus and Neptune), are much larger than the inner rocky planets and therefore have stronger gravitational pulls.
The other statements are incorrect:
- Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet and is not considered one of the outer planets.
- The outer planets are not rocky; they are primarily composed of gases and ices.
- The outer planets actually have thick atmospheres, not thin ones.
