Is Mars terrestrial or jovian?
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 Mars terrestrial?
yet there is no proof that there was any life on mars. but it is terrestrial as it has water and all the vital nutrients needed for life but it wont support life because its atmosphere is way too thin and it's pressure is so low that blood would boil at normal body temperature.
What is a small rocky body that orbits the sun?
That could be one of the "terrestrial" planets, but most likely the required answer is "asteroid".
Describe a terrestrial planet?
To qualify as a planet, a body has to be approximately spherical (achieving hydrostatic equilibrium under its own gravity), it has to orbit the sun directly and it has to have cleared its orbit of all other objects - so that at that distance from the sun, there are no other sizable bodies.
What are the three characteristics of a planet?
The three qualifications for a planet are: 1. It orbits the parent star. 2. It has hydrostatic equilibrium (roughly spherical shape) caused by the gravitational forces. 3. It has cleared its path of orbital debris. (This one is hotly contested.)

What is terrestrial geology?
Terrestrial geology is the study of the earth, which is a terrestrial body. Terrestrial geology differs from planetary geology, which is the study of other planets.

One of the smaller planets what is a rocky body that is constantly moves around the in a path called orbit?
These are called the "terrestrial planets" or "inner planets". They are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

What celestial body is the center of the jovian sysytem?
The planet Jupiter is at the center of the Jovian system.
Why did terrestrial planet move rapidly in there orbits?
Terrestrial planets move faster in their orbits because they are closer to the Sun. Isaac Newton, who discovered the effects of gravity, stated that gravity gets stronger the closer you get to a large, massive body (like the Sun) - and this makes the planets orbit faster than the outer planets, where the force of the Sun's gravity is less. Their orbits are also smaller, so it takes less time for them to go around the Sun.

What section separates the body into dorsal and ventral parts?
well all the body planes separate the body into two planes. the frontal plane separates it into anterior(front) and posterior(back) sagital separates medial and lateral, transverse superior and inferior.
What is the body of water separates Europe and north Africa?
The body of water that separates Europe and North Africa is the Mediterranean Sea.
Why isn't Pluto a terrestrial planet or Jovian planet?
Pluto is not considered a planet because it has not cleared other objects out of its orbit. It has a composition much like that of a comet, consisting of various ices, and so is not a terrestrial planet.
