What are the 5 major differences in Gas Giants and Rocky planets?
The five major differences between the gas giant planets and the rocky planets are as follows: 1. Gas giants are larger, both in diameter and in mass. 2. Gas giants have a much larger proportion of hydrogen and other light weight elements. Rocky planets have more rock. 3. Gas giants are farther away from the sun. 4. Gas giants are much colder. 5. Gas giants are made mostly (in some cases, perhaps entirely) of gas, while rocky planets are mostly solid with comparatively little gas. Edit: Here's another, if you want 6 differences: The Gas Giants have extensive systems of moons (and they have rings too).

Is mercury a gas or a rocky terrestrial?
Mercury is a rocky planet. The inner planets (first four planets from the sun) are rocky planets (which means that you could stand on them) and are the smallest. While the outer planets (last four planets from the sun) are gas planets and the biggest.
