Terrestrial Planets
Terrestrial geology is the study of the earth, which is a terrestrial body. Terrestrial geology differs from planetary geology, which is the study of other planets.
Mars is a terrestrial planet. The word 'terrestrial' means 'Earth-like'. It's applied to planets that are made up mainly of silicate rocks. Such a geological make up is found in the dwarf planet Ceres and among the 'inner planets' of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

No. It is a terrestrial planet like the other inner planets, meaning it is mostly rocky.
Jovian planets are more massive and lower in average density. Terrestrial planets are smaller and higher in average density.
No. Terrestrial planets are much denser than Jovian planets.
Average densities for the four inner or terrestrial planets are; Mercury 5.43g/cc Venus 5.24g/cc Earth 5.515g/cc Mars 3.94g/cc
The Terrestrial planets have a higher density. Their structure includes a large percentage of rock, while the Jovian planets are composed mostly of gas.
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.
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.
no it is lower
There are for terrestrial planets which are also the planets nearest to the sun. The four terrestrial planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The least dense planet among the four is Mars.
Size, density, composition, and the rate of the rotation are used to place the planets in either Jovian or Terrestrial.
The density of water in terrestrial depends on many different factors. The density can only be determined based on the planet's history, they may have "water", but there could be other things inside. Also the gravity of the planet play a role of the density of the water.
its Density
Yes
