Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are all rock planets. The more technical term is terrestrial planets and they are composed of almost entirely of rock and metal. Each has a tiny amount of atmospheric gas and Earth has a tiny amount of liquid water.
The other four planets are the gas giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. That means they do not have a solid surface that is visible and much of the mass of the planet is the gaseous material. (All must have some small inner region consisting of rocky material, even if it is a tiny fraction of the mass that has been collected from stray asteroids.)
The two gas giants closest to the Sun, Jupiter and Saturn, are the two largest in the solar system with Jupiter the largest of all. Both are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium.
The outermost gas giants are called ice giants. Being colder, Uranus and Neptune have formed with substantial quantities of water, ammonium and methane with smaller amounts of hydrogen and helium in the outer regions. The water, ammonium and methane are solid at these temperatures, so the center of these planets is primarily frozen gasses with hydrogen and helium being predominant as an atmosphere.
mercury is a rocky planet
The element mercury is a metal. The planet Mercury is rocky.
Mercury is the only metal in the liquid state.
Mercury is a rocky planet.It's actually a rock because it is one of the inner planets that are all made of rock.The planet Mercury is a dense, rocky, airless world.
Yes, mercury can exist as a gas. It will turn to gas at approximately 674ºF (357ºC) and atmospheric pressure.
Mercury, the planet is a solid rocky body. Mercury, the element is a metal, liquid at room temperature.
There is no planet with large rings and icy rocks. Saturn has rings, but it is not a rocky planet - it is a gas giant.
Mercury is a rocky planet.
Mercury.
The element mercury is a metal. The planet Mercury is rocky.
Neptune is a gas planet, but mercury is not. Mercury is a rocky inner planet, one of the four terrestrial planets.
well Mercury has no gas
the planet is a solid but mercury is a gas as well
Gas
Mercury has no moons,therefore it has no icy moons.
Mercury is the only metal in the liquid state.
Neptune is a Jovian planet. Which means it is a gas giant.
Mercury is a rocky planet.It's actually a rock because it is one of the inner planets that are all made of rock.The planet Mercury is a dense, rocky, airless world.
