Mercury is one of the four inner terrestrial planets, or rocky planets. It is the smallest of the four and closest to the sun. It is also the smallest of all eight planets.
The nickname for the inner planet is "Terrestrial Planet" because they are rocky and similar in composition to Earth.
Terrestrial Planets, or Rocky Planets.
Another name for the terrestrial planets is the inner planets. There are four terrestrial planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
The inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets, are ordered from closest to the Sun to farthest as follows: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Mercury is the closest, followed by Venus, which is often called Earth's "sister planet." Earth is next, and Mars is the farthest of the inner planets.
Mars is an inner planet, located between Earth and the asteroid belt. The inner planets are rocky and terrestrial, while the outer planets are gas giants.
The 4 "inner planets" are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.The solar system consists of two types of planets: terrestrial and jovian (or "gas giants"). The inner four planets, which are all terrestrial, are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars (from closest to furthest).
Venus is one of the four inner planets, also known as a terrestrial or rocky planet.
Of the four inner terrestrial planets, Mars is the furthest from the sun. This is the outermost of the four inner planets.
A terrestrial planet, telluric planet or rocky planet is a planet that is composed primarily of silicate rocks or metals. Within the Solar System, the terrestrial planets are the inner planets closest to the Sun.A gas giant (sometimes also known as a jovian planet after the planet Jupiter, or giant planet) is a large planet that is not primarily composed of rock or other solid matter. There are four gas giants in the Solar System: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Many extrasolar gas giants have been identified orbiting other stars.
Mars is an inner planet, or a terrestrial planet meaning made out of rock.
Venus and Earth are called "Sister planets" but if you've noticed Venus is bigger than Earth so therefore Venus is the biggest planet.
