Earth is the most massive terrestrial planet, so it has the highest surface gravity.

Why do Jovian planets have a thicker atmosphere than the terrestrial planets?

Jovian planets do not have a solid surface, therefore their atmospheres are thick all the say to where their surface would be. Their atmospheres have more gasses than those surrounding terrestrial planets.


Would you weigh more on a gaseous planet or a terrestrial planet?

It depends but in most cases you would weigh more on a gas planet. While the gas planets have a far greater mass than the terrestrial planets, they also have much larger radii. The strength of the surface gravity of a planet is directly proportional to its mass and inversely proportional to the square of its radius. Three of the four gas planets in the solar system have stronger surface gravity than any of the terrestrial planets. Uranus is the exception. Uranus is about 4 times the radius of Earth and 14.5 times Earth's mass, which gives Uranus a surface gravity 88.6% that of Earth. So you would weigh less on the gas planet Uranus than you would on Earth or Venus, which are terrestrial planets.


Which planets have the largest accelerations of gravity?

The planet that has the largest acceleration of gravity is Jupiter. The planet with the least amount of gravity is Mercury. Actually, Pluto has less gravity than Mercury, but Pluto is not classified as a planet any more.


How is the surface gravity of the terrestrial planets related to the type of atmosphere that they have?

The acceleration of gravity at the surface of each terrestrial planet is proportional to the mass of each planet and inversely proportional to the square of the planet's radius, with Newton's gravitational proportionality constant, and is not correlated in any way with any characteristic of the planet's atmosphere. In other words: It ain't related.


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.


What planets are gaseous or terrestrial?

Gaseous planets include Jupiter and Saturn, while terrestrial planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Gaseous planets are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with no solid surface, whereas terrestrial planets are rocky, with a solid surface.


Is Jupiter terresrial?

No. Terrestrial planets are planets that are made of rock.
