What criteria are the planets placed into either the Jovian or terrestrial groups?
Size, density, composition, and the rate of the rotation are used to place the planets in either Jovian or Terrestrial.
Do the Jovian planets have lower average densities than the terrestrial planets?
Yes
What is the most obvious difference between the terrestrial and the Jovian planets?
The greatest difference is in their size. Gas giants are large but have a very low average density (much of their size includes their atmospheres). From a physical standpoint, terrestrial (rocky) planets have a solid exterior surface. Jovian (gas giant) planets instead exhibit a smooth range of increasing density, and do not have the abrupt change to solidity that terrestrial planets exhibit.
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.
How do the escape velocities of the jovian planets compare to the terrestrial planets?
The Jovian planets have much higher escape velocities.
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.
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.
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.

Do the Jovian planets have lower average densities than the terrestrial planets?
Yes
Are the jovian planets similar in mass to the terrestrial planets?
No. The Jovian planets are much more massive than the terrestrial planets.

Is hydrogen more abundant on terrestrial planets than on Jovian planets?
No, there is more hydrogen on the Jovian planets then the terrestrial ones.
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.
What are terrestrial planets and jovian planets?
The Terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Is a Jovian planets is call Inner?
Inner planets are terrestrial planets outer are jovian planets
Terrestrial and jovian planets?
Terrestrial planets are the solid planets like Earth and Mars. Jovian planets are those gas planets like Jupiter and Saturn.
