superior planet
In the Solar System, a planet is said to be inferior or interior with respect to another planet if its orbit lies inside the other planet's orbit around the Sun. In this situation, the latter planet is said to be superior to the former. In the reference frame of the Earth, in which the terms were originally used, the inferior planets are Mercury and Venus, while the superior planets are Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Dwarf planets like Ceres or Pluto and most asteroids are 'superior' in the sense that they almost all orbit outside the orbit of Earth.

superior planet
A superior planet is a planet that orbits the sun outside of the Earth's orbit. It is referred to as "superior" because its orbit is farther from the Sun than Earth's orbit. This includes the planets: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Superior planets can only be observed in the night sky after sunset or before sunrise, often appearing less bright than inferior planets (those planets orbiting closer to the Sun than Earth).
