Technically not all of the elements that exist exist on earth so there are chances that terrestrial planets can be made out of anything. For all we know, there could be a planet made of nothing but titanium, or iron, or even aluminum. For example, the moon titan surrounding Saturn, has oceans made of liquid methane.

Terrestrial objects are Earth-like.Terrestrial objects are objects similar to Earth. Therefore, terrestrial planets contain a metal and rock composition. They have similar gravity strengths, are roughly the same size, have two-or-less moons, and revolve around the Sun. Earth's moon fulfills all of these, except for the last, because it orbits Earth--some theorists suggest that the moon may have been a planet at one time. According to the International Astronomical Union (IAU), Eight planets orbit the Sun. Of them, the four terrestrial planets are closest to the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The Sun's terrestrial asteroid belt separates the terrestrial, inner Solar System planets from the outer Solar System's gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn, and ice giants, Uranus and Neptune. Beyond the Sun's eight planets are the Kuiper belt and the Oort cloud, which are also made up of icy objects, including Pluto. In 2006, the IAU formally designated Pluto as a dwarf planet due to it sharing some certain aspects of the Sun's planets. The main difference is that dwarf planets do not create their own orbital path around the Sun, mainly because their gravitational pull is not strong enough due to their size. These dwarves get their name from their relative miniscule size compared to the Sun's planets. Dwarf planets of the Sun's asteroid and Kuiper belts share an orbital path around the Sun with small Solar System bodies and possibly with other dwarf planets. Pluto and Charon make up a binary planet system, because their gravitational center--called a "barycenter"--lies between itself and Charon. Despite this, the IAU recognizes Charon as a satellite of Pluto.
