Is earth the largest of all inner planets?
No Earth isn't the biggest inner planet. Venus is. Even though it is hotter it is bigger than all of the other inner planets.
Is Jupiter hotter than other planets?
No, in fact many planets are hotter than it. the warmest is Venus and then Mercury.
What is the other type of planet other than gaseous?
The first four planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are known as "Rocky planets" because they have a surface that you can stand on.
Why are Mercury and Venus different from the other planets in the Solar System?
They have no moons. They are also the two planets with the hottest surface temperatures (Venus slightly hotter). In their orbits, the two are the only planets "inferior" to Earth (closer to the Sun).
Oyxgen on other planets?
No, there is no oxygen on any other planet other than Earth because there is no planet life on the other planets.
Why is Saturn called the red planet?
It isn't Mars is called "The Red Planet" because it is visibly redder than the other planets (due to the iron oxide on the surface)
What is the meaning of terrestrial planets?
"Terrestrial planet" essentially means that the planet in question is a rocky, earthen planet where one could (in a space suit) step onto its defined surface. ("Jovian planets" refers to the gas planet of Jupiter and all the other gas giants in the solar system.)
Could microbes from earth be transferred to mars or other planets on the surface of probes sent to these planets?
Microbes from Earth can be transferred to Mars or other planets on the surface to these planets but the overall risk is very low. Due to the harsh conditions of space, most microbes will suffocate or die from the extreme temperatures long before they reach another planet.
Why is Pluto known as a planet but it is a dwarf planet and no other dwarf planets are?
Well, Pluto isn't recognized as a planet, but as a dwarf planet. Also, there are other dwarf planets, but they are more like really big comets than they are planets.
What does your planet have that other planets do not have?
life
Is the pull of gravity from other planets the same as Earth?
No. The gravitational pull at the surface of a planet depends on that planet's mass and radius. Jupiter has the strongest gravity of any planet in the solar system: 2.53 times the surface gravity on Earth. Mercury has the weakest surface gravity at just 37% the gravity on Earth.
How is Pluto different from other planets?
It is a dwarf planet. It is smaller than the other planets.
