Explanation
Outer describes something that is on the outside or farther from the center. It is used when we want to talk about the external surface, layer, or boundary of something. For example, a jacket protects the outer part of the body, and the outer walls of a building are what we see from outside. It helps compare what is outside with what is inside.
