What terrestrial planets are there?
The terrestrial planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. There are many more terrestrial planets orbiting stars other than the sun.
Which planets are terrestrial and which are gaseous planets?
Terrestrial are the planets closest to the sun - Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Gaseous are the rest, up to Uranus.
What is the outermost terrestrial planet?
Of the four inner terrestrial planets, Mars is the furthest from the sun. This is the outermost of the four inner planets.
What is an example of terrestrial planets?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, & Mars because they are the fourth closest to the sun
Describe your solar system in terms of the sun terrestrial planets and the gaseous planets?
The sun is made up of 74% hydrogen and 24% helium. It is also the center of the universe and the planets orbit around it. Those planets include terrestrial planets and gaseous planets. Terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are also the planets closest to the sun. Gaseous planets, or "Gas Giants" include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
What rocks orbit the sun?
Terrestrial planets and moons of both gaseous and terrestrial planets. Don't forget Dwarf planets and the asteroid belt.
What is the difference between terrestial planets and gas planets?
The terrestrial planets are small in size and mass, they are rocky, solid and dense, all four terrestrial planets have 3 moons between them. They are warm and close to the sun. Terrestrial planets USUALLY have thin atmosphere. The Gas Giants are huge in size, have rings made from dust, debris, ice, rock. They very cold (not close to the sun at all) and light (made from gas.) They have several moons between them (167, I think) and lastly Gas Giants usually have thick and deep atmosphere.
What is the relationship between gas giants and terrestrial planets regarding astronomical units?
All of the terrestrial planets are within 1.52 AU of the Sun. All of the gas giants are greater then 5 AU of the sun. The relationship is that most of the terrestrial planets are very close to the sun while gas giants are much further away.
What do terrestrial planets and jovian planets have in common?
They are both composed of planets that are orbiting baround the sun qand both classifications of planets.
How are terrestrial planets different from the Jovian planets?
Terrestrial planets have terra firma, a.k.a. hard ground. The gas giants are giant balls of gas.
Why don't terrestrial planets rings?
They are too close to the sun to have rings.
What is small rocky planets close to the sun call?
terrestrial planet
