What is the rocky surface of the Earth called?
The rocky surface of the Earth is called the Lithosphere.
Which two elements are the most common in the rocky outer surface that makes up earths lithosphere?
silicon and hydrogen
What is the name of the thin rocky layer on the surface of earth?
The crust, which is subdivided into continental crust and oceanic crust.
What is the definition of l thosphere?
Not sure about "l thosphere" but the lithosphere is the outermost rocky layer of planets.

When a meteorite slams into a rocky planet's surface, it often makes a crater.

What makes the inner planets different from the outer planets?
The inner planets are small and rocky, the outer planets are much larger and have no solid surface, they are called the gas giants.
What are rocky planets?
The Rocky planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. They are all the planets with a solid surface made of rock.
What is the surface of inner planets like?
Rocky Surfaces
Rocky body that orbits the sun between the planet?
Rocky body that orbits the sun between the planets is called an asteroid.
What makes craters on mars?
On every rocky celestial body, a crater is used to define the damage left behind by a meteorite's impact with the ground of the celestial body. Thus, all the craters on Mars are from meteorites that have impacted with Mars's surface. Now you might wonder, "What is a meteorite?" A meteorite is any object in space (asteroid, comet, or meteorite) that has crashed into a celestial body that has a solid surface (i.e., moon, planet, etc...).
Why are the inner planets different to the outer planets?
The inner planets are all considered rocky planets in that under atmospheric layers, they have a rocky surface. The outer planets are made of gas and liquid, and are called gas giants. They have no solid surface. Also, all the outer planets have rings while the inner planets do not.
What feature separates the rocky planets from the gas planets?
Depth of the atmosphere. Gas planets have the thickest and largest of atmospheres. Below gas planets atmospheres are pools of hydrogen or in some cases volatile ices that form in a giant ocean above the surface. It's estimated that Jupiter's rocky surface is only about the size of three Earths but the bloated atmosphere makes for most of the planet.
How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?
The inner planets' surface materials differ from the outer planets because the inner planets have rocky surfaces and the outer planets have gas surfaces.
WHAT ALL TERRESTRIAL PLANETS HAVE IN COMMON?
They all have a solid, rocky surface.
