How do the escape velocities of the jovian planets compare to the terrestrial planets?
The Jovian planets have much higher escape velocities.
What criteria are the planet placed into either the jovian or terrestial groups?
The criteria used to distinguish between the Jovian and terrestrial planets are size, density, com­­posi­tion, and rate of rotation.
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.
Why are some planets classified and some rejected?
Pluto, for example, did not fall into the jovian planets catergory or the terrestial planets. it is also too small for a palnet, and too far from the sun.
What are two differences between Jovian planets and Terrestial planets?
The gas giants ("Jovian planets") are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Unlike the terrestrial planets, these planets:Are quite a bit largerConsist mainly of gasDon't have a surface on which you might standContain more hydrogen and helium, and less of the heavier elementsHave a lower density
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.
Why do Jovian planets have more volotile liquid and gaseous material then terrestial planets?

Is earth terrestial or jovian?
Earth us a terrestrial planet. Jovian planets are gas giants with no solid surface.

Why are jovian planets so cold?
That's because they are beyond the asteroid belt which means they are already far from the sun, unlike the inner planets (also known as terrestial planets).
How many types of planets are in space?
There are 7 main classification of Planets. They are classified into the following groups; * Inferior Planets * Superior Planets * Inner Planets * Outer Planets * Terrestial Planets, * Jovian Planets * Gas Giants
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 does the eather compare in size to other planets?
It is the biggest terrestrial planet, but far smaller than the four jovian planets.
