Is the planet venus a terrestrial or gas planet?
I think of the word terrestrial as referring specifically to the earth. But in the context of your question I think you are referring to a rocky planet as opposed to a gas giant. Venus is a rocky planet, or terrestrial to use your term. There are 4 rocky planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Don't let the water on the Earth confuse you with the term rocky. The water is extremely shallow in astronomical dimensions. The gas planets, often called gas giants, are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto is no longer considered a planet and I do not know which category it would fall into.
