The gaseous planets in our Solar System (more commonly known as "gas giants") are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. There is significant size difference between the two types of planets; the largest terrestrial planet in our Solar System, our Earth, is a lot smaller than the smallest gaseous planet in our Solar System.

Mars is a terrestrial planet, so it is relatively small compared to the gas giants, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. In fact, Mars is the next to smallest planet in our Solar System, with Mercury being first smallest. Mars has a diameter of 4221 mi (6792 km), while the diameter of our Earth is 7926 mi (12,742 km).
