What criteria are the planets placed into either the Jovian or terrestrial groups?
Size, density, composition, and the rate of the rotation are used to place the planets in either Jovian or Terrestrial.
By what criteria are the planets placed into either the Jovian or terrestrial group?
Planets are either earth-like or Jupiter-like.
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.
Why isn't Pluto a terrestrial planet or Jovian planet?
Pluto is not considered a planet because it has not cleared other objects out of its orbit. It has a composition much like that of a comet, consisting of various ices, and so is not a terrestrial planet.
Why can limestone be classified as either bioclastic or chemical?
because they are classified diferently depending on how they form, and what they are made of
Why isn't Jupiter classified as either a terrestrial planet or a jovian planet?
Jupiter is a Jovian planet. The word "Jovian" comes from "Jove," which is another name for Jupiter.

The difference between a jovian planet and a Terran planet?
Jovian Planets: Gas GiantsThe gas giants, popularly referred to as the Jovian planets, are the planets which are not composed of any solid matter. Technically speaking, the planets which have 10 times more mass than the Earth are classified as the Jovian planets. The examples of Jovian planets in our solar system, include the planet Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. These planets are referred to as the Jovian planets owing to their stark resemblance to the planet Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Other than these four planets in our solar system, several other gas giants have been discovered in outer space.Terrestrial Planets: Inner PlanetsTerrestrial planets, also known as the rocky planets or the telluric planets, are those planets which are predominantly composed of silicate rocks. The examples of terrestrial planets in the solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These planets resemble the planet Earth to a significant extent, and hence they are referred to as 'Earth-like' or 'terrestrial' (derived from the Latin word the Earth - terra). Other than the Earth, and three other terrestrial planets in our solar system, the scientists have identified a number of planets with terrestrial traits in outer space.Jovian Planets Vs Terrestrial PlanetsThat brings us back to the terrestrial planets vs Jovian planets comparison. The most basic difference between Jovian and terrestrial planets is their size. While the Jovian planets are gigantic, the terrestrial planets are considerably small. In fact, the smallest Jovian planet is 10 times larger than the planet Earth, which is the largest terrestrial planet. Even in terms of the mass, Jovian planets score over their terrestrial counterparts. The smallest Jovian planet has 15 times more mass than the Earth. The surface of the Jovian planets is made up of gases, while the surface of the terrestrial planets is made up of solid rock. Similarly, the atmosphere of the terrestrial planets is predominantly made up of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, while the atmosphere of the Jovian planets is made up of hydrogen and helium. As far as the distance from the Sun is concerned, the terrestrial planets are closer to the Sun, and hence are referred to as inner planets, while the Jovian planets are farther, and hence are referred to as the outer planets. Surprisingly, however, the speed at which the Jovian planets rotate is much faster than the terrestrial planets. The density of the terrestrial planets is five times that of water, while the density of the Jovian planets is as much as that of water. Yet another point of difference between the Jovian planets and the terrestrial planets is the number of natural satellites. While the terrestrial planets either have none or a very few (Mercury-0, Venus-0, Earth-1 and Mars-2), the Jovian planets have a large number of them.
Is Mars terrestrial or jovian?
Venus is terrestrial. It has a solid surface and is primarily solid in composition. Jovian planets are primarily gaseous. Terrestrial planets, due to a higher density, are found on the inner orbits of the solar system. Pluto is actually neither, as its composition is mostly icy rather than metallic elements like terrestrial planets. It is likely that Pluto is a either a captured body (perhaps a comet), or the leftover material of a planetary collision early in the solar system's history.
Are animals terrestrial?
Terrestrial animals are those that live on the land, either entirely or mostly. "Terre" means earth, terrestrial means "of the earth".
Why isn't Pluto a terrestrial planet or Jovian planet?
Pluto is not considered a planet because it has not cleared other objects out of its orbit. It has a composition much like that of a comet, consisting of various ices, and so is not a terrestrial planet.
Why are the terrestrial planets different from the sun?
The sun is a star, not a planet. the terrestrial planets are also made of either rock, ice, or gas.
How are clouds classified by name?
They are classified as either cumulus, stratus or cirrus clouds.
How are risk exposures classified?
I think its classified as either pure risk or speculative risk
What is the define hemisphere?
It is either half of the cerebrum. It is half of the terrestrial globe. It is the half of a sphere.
