In the case of our Solar System:* The terrestrial planets are closer to the Sun.
* The gas giants are much larger than the terrestrial planets.
* The gas giants don't have a surface on which you can stand.
A related fact is that gas giants have a much lower average density.

Is earth terrestial or jovian?
Earth us a terrestrial planet. Jovian planets are gas giants with no solid surface.
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.
The most obvious difference between the terrestrial and the jovian planets is?
The size. The gaseous Jovian planets are far larger than the inner terrestrial planets.
Which of the following planets is not a terrestrial planet?
The planets jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune are not terrestial planets because they are made of gas and they are called jovian/giant planets.
What is the planet interior of Jovian?
The cores of all four Jovian planets are made of rock, metal, and gasses. The difference between the planets are the layers that surround the cores.
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
The differences between terrestrial and jovian planets?
the Terrestrial planets are the four closest and th Jovian planets are the farthestjoivoin
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
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).
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.
