How do the escape velocities of the jovian planets compare to the terrestrial planets?
The Jovian planets have much higher escape velocities.
Why is the surface temperature of Venus higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner?
The surface temperature of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner planets because of its thick atmosphere.
Explain why the surface temperatulre of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other planets in your solar system?
you should be smart and know this! but i will give it to you any ways.... Venus's atmosphere has 90 times the pressure of the other planets!
Why is Jupiter denser than Saturn?
Terrestrial Planets are more dense than Jovian planets because terrestrial planets are mainly made of solids such as rock and metal, whilst Jovian planets are mainly made of gasses, and the density of solids is much higher than that of gases
Why the inner planets are all terrestrial?
It is my understanding that, due to their close proximity to the Sun, and the corresponding higher temperatures, lighter gases (mainly hydrogen and helium) evaporated off into space.
How do the escape velocities of the jovian planets compare to the terrestrial planets?
The Jovian planets have much higher escape velocities.
Are the planets that have a higher density the Terrestrial planets or the Jovian planets?
The Terrestrial planets have a higher density. Their structure includes a large percentage of rock, while the Jovian planets are composed mostly of gas.
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.
Why are the densities of the terrestrial and jovian planets so different?
The terrestrial planets are primarily composed of rock and the jovian planets are mostly gas (primarily Hydrogen). Rock has a higher density than Hydrogen, giving the terrestrial planets a higher density.
Why are Jovian planets far away from the sun?
Because solar can absorb higher sun rays
Why is the surface temperature of Venus higher than the other surface temperatures of the inner planets?
The surface temperature of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner planets because of its thick atmosphere.
What is the primary difference in composition between the Sun and the terrestrial planets is?
Dependant on how the debris from supernovae is moving, the proportions of certain materials present, and the initial conditions of solar systems forming different combinations of terrestrial and Jovian planets are formed. Terrestrial planets are comprised of heavier particles (ie. of higher relative atomic mass) meaning they have stronger gravity which leads to higher density planets than the gaseous Jovian planets. A Jovian planet can be thought of as a failed star - it has all the elements needed to fuel nuclear fusion, but not enough gravity to attain the nuclear activation energy required. So the Sun started as a large cloud mostly comprising of gases, and terrestrial planets were formed from clouds mostly consisting of heavy solids.
Why is the surface temperature of Venus higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner?
The surface temperature of Venus is higher than the surface temperatures of the other inner planets because of its thick atmosphere.
Is Mars terrestrial or jovian?
Venus is terrestrial. It has a solid surface and is primarily solid in composition. Jovian planets are primarily gaseous. Terrestrial planets, due to a higher density, are found on the inner orbits of the solar system. Pluto is actually neither, as its composition is mostly icy rather than metallic elements like terrestrial planets. It is likely that Pluto is a either a captured body (perhaps a comet), or the leftover material of a planetary collision early in the solar system's history.
Do particles in matter move more quickly at lower temperatures or higher temperatures?
At higher temperatures.

What are the characteristics of the Jovian planets?
They have no solid surfaces. They are much larger than the terrestrial planets. They orbit far from the sun. They are composed of gases.
