- Mercury had volcanic activity but it appears to be dormant now
- Venus had volcanic activity but it appears to be dormant now
- Earth still has active volcanoes
- Mars had volcanic activity but it appears to be dormant now
- Io - a moon of Jupiter is the most volcanically active object in our Solar System with over 400 active volcanoes.

∙ 15y agoMars, Earth and Venus, certainly; the tallest volcano in the solar system is on Mars. And Jupiter's moon Io may be the most active body in the solar system when it comes to volcanoes; some of the eruptions go into space!

∙ 8y agoVenus shows evidence of volcanic activity. Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus all lack solid surfaces and so could never support volcanic activity.

Why do you not see evidence of heavy meteoroid bombardment on the moon?
But you do! Look carefully and the surface of the Moon is covered with craters each of which is the result of a meteor impact.
What are three similarities among the inner planets?
Compared to the outer planets (gas giants), the four inner planets are small, have a greater average density, and receive most of their heat from the Sun. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are compact rocky planets, with a solid surface rather than a thick atmosphere. Their masses give them less gravity, but they contain a greater percentage of heavy elements, such as iron and zinc, than the larger planets. Without the Sun's radiation, their surfaces would be considerably cooler, as can be seen by the lower temperatures on Mars compared to Mercury and Venus.
All of the planets could easily fit into?
All of the planets except Jupiter could fit inside Jupiter. Jupiter is bigger than all the other planets combined. All the planets including Jupiter could easily fit inside the sun, which weighs more than a thousand times all the rest of the solar system combined. If the planets were collapsed into neutronium, their combined volume would be significantly less than 1/4 mile (that of typical neutron stars), which could probably fit inside the Grand Canyon, and perhaps even a big warehouse. Of course, this mass would also be very heavy.
Why is nickel more abundant in space?
As planets form, the materials of which they're composed differentiate. That largely means that the denser ones settle to the core. The Earth did not completely differentiate, which is why we can find some heavy things like gold and iron near the surface; however, most of the Earth's metals, including nickel and iron, are in the core, beyond our reach. Asteroids, being much smaller than planets, are hardly differentiated at all, which means their heavy (dense) components are as accessible as their light ones.
What does massive mean?
A power plant requires massive amounts of water for cooling. The massive glacier continues to push down the mountainside. The Unted States sent massive aid to Haiti following the earthquake there.
Does Venus have volcanoes storms rings craters etc?
Yes, on certain expeditions to Venus in the past several decades, evidence has been found proving that there has been volcanic activity on the planet. However, there are several large dormant volcanoes on the surface, so future volcanic activity can be expected.
Why is volcanic ash so heavy?
Volcanic ash is not heavy at all. which is why it is able to be carried by wind.
Is volcanic rock heavy?
Not necessarily. It canbe as heavy as ordinary rock, or much ligher. The lightest rock on earth, pumice, is a volcanic rock. It is light enough to float in water.
What type of destruction can volcanic ash cause?
Volcanic ash can be very heavy and cause things to break and collapse.
What are inner planets made of?
Heavy elements.
What are the big heavy rock on earth surface?
igneous volcanic rocks
What is a very heavy hard rock found near volcanoes?
Volcanic Rock
What evidence exists for a heavy core?
fond
Why are the inner planets composed of heavy elements and outer planets composed of gas?
During the creation of the planets, gravitational forces pulled the heavier planets towards the center. The lighter gas filled planets by default established further orbits. It is thought that heat caused the inner planets to lose their gas composition.
Are volcanic rocks heavy?
They are usually about the same density as non-volcanic rocks. The one exception is pumice, which is so full of holes that it is less dense than water.
What evidence led the conclusion that earth core is made of solid iron?
The effect that Earth's gravity has on other planets and the sun can be calculated. This degree of gravity that is demonstrated points to a heavy core that is metal. Fragments of nickel-iron meteorites that are remnants of planetary collisions also indicate that other planets have a nickel-iron core.
How heavey is Jupiter?
It is so heavy it is heavyer than all of the planets combined.
