How the rocky inner planets were formed?
By "accretion" of "planetesimals" from the "protoplanetary disk".
What are small rocky objects that revolve around the Sun called?
Objects smaller than planets and dwarf planets, which are not moons, are called asteroids.The smallest are called meteoroids, especially when they encounter a larger body, and micrometeoroids if they are as small as grains of sand or dust, or even smaller.(because of their low mass, micrometeors can survive atmospheric deceleration to reach the surface)
Do the terrestrial planets have much smaller masses than the Jovian planets?
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.

Why are the inner planets different to the outer planets?
The inner planets are all considered rocky planets in that under atmospheric layers, they have a rocky surface. The outer planets are made of gas and liquid, and are called gas giants. They have no solid surface. Also, all the outer planets have rings while the inner planets do not.
How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?
The inner planets' surface materials differ from the outer planets because the inner planets have rocky surfaces and the outer planets have gas surfaces.
What do all terrestrial planets have in common?
They all have a solid, rocky surface.
WHAT ALL TERRESTRIAL PLANETS HAVE IN COMMON?
They all have a solid, rocky surface.
What is a planets with a solid rocky surface called?
they are called terrestrial planets. for example: Mars (The Red Giant)
What characteristics of all the inner planets share?
Inner planets are also known as Terrestial planets which means they all have a rocky surface.
What is the other type of planet other than gaseous?
The first four planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are known as "Rocky planets" because they have a surface that you can stand on.
Which of the outer planets has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the outer planets?
None of them do. All the outer planets are gas planets while all the inner planets are rocky. You might be thinking of Pluto. It has a solid surface, but it is no longer considered a planet.
What makes the inner planets different from the outer planets?
The inner planets are small and rocky, the outer planets are much larger and have no solid surface, they are called the gas giants.
