The sun is made up of 74% hydrogen and 24% helium. It is also the center of the universe and the planets orbit around it. Those planets include terrestrial planets and gaseous planets. Terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are also the planets closest to the sun. Gaseous planets, or "Gas Giants" include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

How many planets are terrestrial and how many are gaseous in the solar system?
There are four terrestrial planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. There are also four gaseous planets in our solar system: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Is earth terrestrial or gasous?
The Earth is terrestrial rather than gaseous. There are several planets in the solar system that are considered to be gaseous but the Earth and Mars and even Pluto are terrestrial.
Is small one of the characteristics of terrestrial planet?
Compared to the gaseous planets in our solar system: yes.
Would you weigh more on a gaseous planet or terrestrial planet?
Based on the fact that the gaseous planets in the solar system have much greater mass than terrestrial planets, you would weigh more as weight depends on gravitational pull, which is increased based on the mass of the object.
What terrestrial planets are there?
The terrestrial planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. There are many more terrestrial planets orbiting stars other than the sun.
What separates the terrestrial and jovian planets?
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.
Are the terrestrial planets part of the solar system?
Yes: the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are part of our own solar system.
What are 3 ways inner planets are alike?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The inner planets all have a clear solid surface, unlike gaseous planets. The inner planets do not have a ring system. The inner planets are of similar densities.
How many planets in the solar system are terrestrial planets?

How many gas planets are in our solar system?
There are four gaseous planets.
How many planets are in our solar system from gas?
There are four gaseous planets.
What planet has the highest surface gravity of the terrestrial planets?
