Venus is terrestrial. It has a solid surface and is primarily solid in composition. Jovian planets are primarily gaseous. Terrestrial planets, due to a higher density, are found on the inner orbits of the solar system. Pluto is actually neither, as its composition is mostly icy rather than metallic elements like terrestrial planets. It is likely that Pluto is a either a captured body (perhaps a comet), or the leftover material of a planetary collision early in the solar system's history.

Is Mercury a Terrestrial Planet or a Jovian planet?

The Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They share many characteristics including their location outside of the asteroid belt (between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter).


Terrestrial and jovian planets?

Terrestrial planets are rocky, smaller, and closer to the Sun, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Jovian planets are gas giants, larger, and further from the Sun, such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jovian planets have thick atmospheres mainly composed of hydrogen and helium, while terrestrial planets have thin atmospheres and solid surfaces.

What are terrestrial planets and jovian planets?

Terrestrial planets are rocky, dense planets that are closer to the sun, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Jovian planets, also known as gas giants, are larger planets made mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium, and include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.


Compared to the terrestrial planets the Jovian planets are?

The Jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) are composed of gases and pressurized liquids. Whereas, the four inner terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) are composed of rock and iron.


Is Jupiter a terrestrial or a Jovian planet?

Jupiter is a Jovian Plant. The adjective Jovian has come to mean anything associated with Jupiter; and by extension, a Jupiter-like planet. The Jovian planets are the gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. Many, if not most, of the exoplanets discovered to date appear to be Jovian. By contrast, terrestrial, aka telluric, aka rocky planets differ significantly from the gas giant/Jovian planets in that they are composed primarily of metals and silicate rocks (hence "rocky" planets) like Earth, aka Terra (from which we get the word terrestrial) and are "Earth-like" as opposed to "jupiter-like"/Jovian. The terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. All the dwarf planets are also more terrestrial than jovian.
