The Asteroid Belt is a demarcation between the gas giants and terrestrial type planets.
No, there is more hydrogen on the Jovian planets then the terrestrial ones.
The terrestrial planets, in order from smallest to largest, are Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Earth. Mercury is the smallest, followed by Mars, then Venus, and Earth is the largest of the four. These planets are primarily composed of rock and metal, distinguishing them from the larger gas giants.
The cores of jovian planets are very similar to terrestrial ones. Jovian planets are simply a more evolved form of terrestrial planet contrary to popular perception. Jovian planets often have a lot of hydrogen, helium, methane, and/or volatile ices to make up its atmosphere to the point where oceans of these components cover the terrestrial core and billow the atmosphere to large proportions. Terrestrial planets absorbed less of these components from the leftover solar nebula leaving only the rocky surface and maybe some gas of an atmosphere.
Technically not all of the elements that exist exist on earth so there are chances that terrestrial planets can be made out of anything. For all we know, there could be a planet made of nothing but titanium, or iron, or even aluminum. For example, the moon titan surrounding Saturn, has oceans made of liquid methane.
Earth. Why is 1) the moon, 2) rotation rate, 3) liquid core, 4) thin crust.
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.

gas planets
They're not.
Terrestrial planets have terra firma, a.k.a. hard ground. The gas giants are giant balls of gas.
They are are not similar.
They are both planets !!!!
A terrestrial planet, Gas giant planets are made of gas....
What separates them is between Mars and Jupiter. It's called the asteroid belt.
The terrestrial planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The gas giants are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Terrestrial planets have solid surfaces, while gas giants are primarily composed of gases like hydrogen and helium.
Venus is a terrestrial planet, not a jovian planet. Terrestrial planets are rocky and have solid surfaces, while jovian planets are gas giants.
They are also known as the terrestrial planets (they have a 'terrain' or landscape, unlike the outer gas planets. They are also called the Rocky planets.
