Which group of planets shares the most characteristics?

Both Jovian planets and Terrestrial planets share a similar amount of characteristics. For example, Jovian planets are gaseous, large and farthest from the sun. While Terrestrial planets are rocky, dense, closest to the sun and small (in comparison to Jovian planets). The two planets with the most similarities are Venus and Earth hence them being called "sister planets" due to to their similar masses.


The kind of planet are Mars and Earth?

Mars and Earth are both rocky or "terrestrial" planets. Mars and Earth also belong to the group of inner planets (along with Venus and Mercury). Inner planets are in front of the meteor belt (between Mars and Jupiter), outer planets are behind the meteor belt.

What is a group of planets that orbit a star?

Personally I'd call anything that is large enough to rotate around the Sun is a planet. However, that causes "loads" of problems, orbits and mass etc. If that criteria was used we'd have hundreds/thousands of planets and sooo many problems. The current criteria makes sense and should be used. It matters not if an "object" in space is a planet, dwarf, asteroid or comet - it's nothing more than a "lump" of something orbiting the Sun.

What criteria are the planet placed into either the jovian or terrestial groups?

Planets are placed into either the Jovian or terrestrial group based on their composition, size, and distance from the sun. Jovian planets are gas giants, much larger in size and primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. Terrestrial planets, like Earth, are smaller, rocky planets with solid surfaces.


By what criteria are the planets placed into either the Jovian or terrestrial group?

Planets are categorized as either Jovian or terrestrial based on their composition and physical characteristics. Jovian planets are large gas giants with no solid surface, while terrestrial planets are rocky with a solid surface. Jovian planets are typically further from the sun than terrestrial planets.
