No it's a rocky planet similar to that of Earth. The first four planets our solar system are terrestrial.

The terrestrial planets are small in size and mass, they are rocky, solid and dense, all four terrestrial planets have 3 moons between them. They are warm and close to the sun. Terrestrial planets USUALLY have thin atmosphere. The Gas Giants are huge in size, have rings made from dust, debris, ice, rock. They very cold (not close to the sun at all) and light (made from gas.) They have several moons between them (167, I think) and lastly Gas Giants usually have thick and deep atmosphere.

What is difference between the terrestrial and gaseous planets?

Terrestrial planets, like Earth, are small, dense, and composed of rocky surfaces. They have solid surfaces and may have atmospheres but are predominantly rock. Gaseous planets, like Jupiter and Saturn, are much larger, less dense, and predominantly made up of gases like hydrogen and helium. They do not have solid surfaces and are often referred to as gas giants.
