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 else can I help you with?
What is the terrestial palnet?
Well, terrestrial planets are the planets roughly like Earth, in composition. Terrestrial means "Earth-like". These planets are found before the asteroid belt and the outer gas giant planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars come in this category of terrestrial planets.
What is the terrestrial planet the has no atmosphere?
what is the terrestrial planet that has no atmosphere
How many types of planets are in space?
There are 7 main classification of Planets. They are classified into the following groups; * Inferior Planets * Superior Planets * Inner Planets * Outer Planets * Terrestial Planets, * Jovian Planets * Gas Giants
Why is earth a terrestrial planet?
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.
Are Mercury Venus Earth and Mars rocky planets?
Yes, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are all rocky planets. They are composed primarily of silicate rocks and metals, with solid surfaces. This is in contrast to the gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn which are primarily composed of gases.
Which planets are terrestial and gas planets?
Terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Gas planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Terrestrial planets have solid rocky surfaces, while gas planets are primarily composed of gases and have no solid surface.
Is earth terrestial or jovian?
Earth us a terrestrial planet. Jovian planets are gas giants with no solid surface.
What is the difference between terrestial planets and outer planets?
terrestrial are planets that are the inner planets since there are made up of rock. but on the other hand. the outer planets are the gas giants. or the outer planets. they are made up of various gasses.
What is the main difference between inner planets and outer ones?
Inner planets are mostly rock and outer planets are mostly gas.
What are two differences between Jovian planets and Terrestial planets?
The gas giants ("Jovian planets") are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Unlike the terrestrial planets, these planets:Are quite a bit largerConsist mainly of gasDon't have a surface on which you might standContain more hydrogen and helium, and less of the heavier elementsHave a lower density
What planet is classified as a terrestial planet?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars), they have a clearly defined terrain (unlike the four outer gas giant planets).
What is the terrestial palnet?
Well, terrestrial planets are the planets roughly like Earth, in composition. Terrestrial means "Earth-like". These planets are found before the asteroid belt and the outer gas giant planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars come in this category of terrestrial planets.

What is between the gas and terrestrial planets?
The Asteroid Belt is a demarcation between the gas giants and terrestrial type planets.
Is Mercury made mostly of gas or rocks?
It's an element, not a compound, it could never be a rock but could turn into a gas if it got hot enough. So it would be mostly gas out of those two. If you mean solid or gas, It freezes at -38.83 degrees Celsius and evaporates at 356.73 degrees. I seriously doubt anybody will need to know this.
What is the major difference between the inner and outer planets as it relates to their composition?
The difference is that the 4 inner planets are solid. The first 2 outer planets are completely made up of gas and the last 2 planets, while also made up of gas, are mostly frozen, so scientists call them ice giants.Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
