In our solar system, the asteroid belt lies between the two types of planets. Whether this is due to some overarching influence or merely coincidental cannot be determined at the present time.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are small rocky, terrestrial planets.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are larger, predominantly gaseous planets.
Beyond Neptune are many small plutoids and other icy bodies, some of which approach the size of the terrestrial planets. Their gaseous composition, however, means that they would lose much of their mass if they were closer to the Sun.

Is the average density of terrestrial planets the same density as Jovian planet?
No. Terrestrial planets are much denser than Jovian planets.
Compare and contrast terrestrial and Jovian planets?
The main difference is size. Jovian planets are very large and terrestrial planets aren't. Jovian planets are also made of gas and terrestrials are made of rocks.
How do the escape velocities of the jovian planets compare to the terrestrial planets?
The Jovian planets have much higher escape velocities.
Is Mercury jovain?
Mercury is not a jovian planet because all planets after Jupiter and Jupiter are all jovian planets. So Jupiter, Saturn , Uranus , Neptune and the poor old Pluto that was booted from the planets are all jovian.
What criteria are the planets placed into either the Jovian or terrestrial groups?
Size, density, composition, and the rate of the rotation are used to place the planets in either Jovian or Terrestrial.
What body separates the terrestrial and Jovian planets?
The answer is the asteroid belt.
Are the jovian planets similar in mass to the terrestrial planets?
No. The Jovian planets are much more massive than the terrestrial planets.
Is hydrogen more abundant on terrestrial planets than on Jovian planets?
No, there is more hydrogen on the Jovian planets then the terrestrial ones.
How does the diameter of the terrestrial and jovian planets compare?
The diameter of a terrestrial and jovian planets are comparable in the sense that the objects orbiting on a terrestrial level are often much bigger than those of jovian planets.
What are terrestrial planets and jovian planets?
The Terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Is a Jovian planets is call Inner?
Inner planets are terrestrial planets outer are jovian planets
Is the average density of terrestrial planets the same density as Jovian planet?
No. Terrestrial planets are much denser than Jovian planets.
Terrestrial and jovian planets?
Terrestrial planets are the solid planets like Earth and Mars. Jovian planets are those gas planets like Jupiter and Saturn.
Compare and contrast terrestrial and Jovian planets?
The main difference is size. Jovian planets are very large and terrestrial planets aren't. Jovian planets are also made of gas and terrestrials are made of rocks.
The most obvious difference between the terrestrial and the jovian planets is?
The size. The gaseous Jovian planets are far larger than the inner terrestrial planets.
How do Jovian and terrestrial planets compare?
Jovian planets are more massive and lower in average density. Terrestrial planets are smaller and higher in average density.
How do the escape velocities of the jovian planets compare to the terrestrial planets?
The Jovian planets have much higher escape velocities.
