Earth is a Terrestial Planet because it's one of the four closest planets to the sun. This planets are in between the Asteroid Belt and after the asteroid belt are the four gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (in that order). Then there's Pluto. The four Terrestial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars (in that order). Earth is also a Terrestial Planet because it has a solid surface that we're able to walk on, unlike the four gas giants where their surface is composed of different gases making it impossible for us to walk on it.
