Earth is the largest and most massive of the four inner or terrestrial planets. Its surface gravity is therefore the highest of the four.

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.


Name the 4 terrestrial and 4 giant gas planets?

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune are the four outer planets the four inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.


What are the first 4 planets known as?

Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are known as "inner planets" or "terrestrial planets".


Where are the 4 smallest planets located?

The 4 smallest planets are also the 4 most inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.


What are the four inner or terrestrial planets?

The 4 "inner planets" are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.The solar system consists of two types of planets: terrestrial and jovian (or "gas giants"). The inner four planets, which are all terrestrial, are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars (from closest to furthest).


What is the order of terrestrial planets according to size?

There are four Terrestrial planets. The Terrestrial planets in order according to radius size are: 1. Mercury (0.383 km) 2. Mars (0.533 km) 3. Venus (0.950 km) 4. Earth (1.000 km)


Do terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer gas giants?

Terrestrial means on Earth so Earth is the only terrestrial planet This is incorrect, the first 4 planets are terrestrial as they are solidly bound planets. Pluto was also a terrestrial dwarf planet. Any planet can have moons but due to the gas giants having larger gravitational forces they have traditionally gathered more moons. Thusly, no.


What are the two names for the 4 inner planets?

Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the inner planets, and are referred to as "rocky," or terrestrial" (telluric) planets.


Do the 4 outer planets have the most gravity?

Yes, the four outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) have the most gravity in our solar system due to their larger size and mass compared to the inner planets. For example, Jupiter, the largest of the planets, has the strongest gravitational force.


The 4 planets closest to the sun are all what?

The inner planets are called "rocky" or terrestrial, a name which underscores the contrast with the outer gas giant planets.


What are the 4 planets that all have rocky surfaces are referred to as what planets?

They are Mercury, Venuse, Earth and Mars: together these comprise the inner planet or terrestrial planets.
