Because of the initial expansion of the Sun when it reached nuclear fusion. This pushed the lighter elements away from the new Sun, leaving behind the rocky and heavier elements which became the terrestrial planets. The lighter gases flowed passed the "ice line" [See related question] where it was cold enough for molecules to combine into the Gas and Ice giants.
The first four planets from sun Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are rocky planets other planets in solar system are gaseous or dusty planets.
There are 5 rocky planets in our solar system if you count Pluto. If not, there are 4 rocky planets in the solar system.
The planets in our Solar System that are rocky are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These inner planets are also called "Terrestrial Planets."

Yes.
The planets in our Solar System that are rocky are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These inner planets are also called "Terrestrial Planets."
In our solar system, there are officially 4 rocky planets: Mercury Venus Earth Mars The small dwarf planet called Pluto is also rocky.
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the Rocky planets. They are called so simply because they are rocky, their outer layer is solid. All other planets in the solar system are gaseous.
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.
