Why are the terrestrial planets solid?
Terrestrial planets are solid because they are predominantly made up of rock and metal materials that are closer to the sun and have higher temperatures, leading to the formation of solid surfaces. The intense heat from the sun causes volatile compounds to vaporize, leaving behind only the solid materials. Additionally, the gravitational forces of these planets are strong enough to hold onto their solid material structures in close proximity.
What in the world can only stay as a solid?
All materials can be melted or thermally decomposed.
Can all materials exist as solids liquids and gasses at different temperatures?
I think Helium is the only standout that cannot be made into a solid at low enough temperature. All solids may be made into a gas /plasma at high enough temperature. add. note. Maybe He can be made solid with sufficient pressure - but maybe only the Sci-fi writers know.
Would you expect there to be large amount of volatile material only in the outer regions of other solar systems?
"Volatile" material means stuff that is gaseous at "room" temperature. As close to the Sun as the Earth is, anything inside the Earth's orbit - and most stuff inside Mars' orbit - will already have been vaporized. Once it is gaseous and in space, the solar wind will carry it away into the outer solar system. Once out past the orbits of Jupiter or Saturn, most gasses like ammonia or carbon dioxide will condense or freeze, and if it comes close to any larger body, it will probably stick to it as frost.
What process occurs as peices of dry ice gradually get smaller?
Sublimation.The frozen CO2 changes directly from solid into a gas. It can only remain in a solid form because of the very low temperatures it is kept at. At room temperatures it begins to change (sublime) from a solid directly into a gas (skipping the liquid state).

Why do you find rocky material everywhere in the Solar System but large amounts of volatile material only in the outer regions?
Rocky material is found everywhere in the Solar System because it is more resilient to the extreme conditions of space and is not easily vaporized. In the outer regions, such as the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud, where temperatures are colder, volatile materials like water, methane, and ammonia can exist in solid form, leading to their accumulation in larger quantities compared to the inner regions.
Is the inner core in the earth's layers liquid?
No, the inner core of the Earth is actually solid, primarily composed of iron and nickel. It is the intense pressure and high temperatures at the Earth's core that keep these materials in a solid state.
What is the difference of plasma to solid liquid and gas?
Plasma only occurs at very high temperatures.

Is computer disks are volatile?
Computer disks are not volatile. Only RAM is.
Is gaseous ammonia a solid?
No, gaseous ammonia is not a solid. Ammonia at room temperature and pressure exists in the gaseous state. It turns into a solid only at very low temperatures and high pressures.

Almirah is solid at room temperatures give two reasons?
Almirah is a solid at room temperature, because it will only be liquid at its melting point and the room temperature is not its melting point.
What is Iridium state of matter at room temperature?
Iridium is a solid at room temperature. It is a dense, hard, and corrosion-resistant metal belonging to the platinum group.
