∙ 9y agoThe inner four planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are termed "rocky" or terrestrial since they are largely silicates and metals. The outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all thought to have rocky cores but since those have a much higher fraction of gas in their composition, the emphasis is placed on the rocky inner planets.
