What else can I help you with?
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.
Why do gaseous planets have more moons than terrestrial planets?
The gassy planets are much more massive than the inner planets, which means that have stronger more far-reaching gravitational fields. That in turn makes them more likely to capture odd collections of rock in the solar system.
Why are gas giants more oblate than terrestrial planets?
Gas planets are just that - gaseous. This means they are less dense, and more susceptible to centripetal forces. Gas planets also have a tendency to have a faster rotation speed due in part to their large mass. The result is slightly oblate spheroids.
Does the terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer planets?
Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.
Why don't terrestrial planets have rings?
Who says they don't?There are only four terrestrial planets we have pictures of where they're more than a single pixel (if that). We don't know if extrasolar terrestrial planets have rings or not. There's no theoretical reason they COULDN'T have rings.
Would you weigh more on a gaseous planet or terrestrial planet?
Based on the fact that the gaseous planets in the solar system have much greater mass than terrestrial planets, you would weigh more as weight depends on gravitational pull, which is increased based on the mass of the object.
Why are the terrestrial planets smaller than the gaseous planets?
the terrestrial planets are made of iron cores and the gaseous planets are bigger and are made up of many gases that come together so if u could stand on one of these planets u would sink in goo the gaseous planets also have more gravity

What are some different things between terrestrial planet and gaseous planet?
Gaseous planets are often significantly more massive than terrestrial planets. They are not primarily composed of solid rock, as terrestrial planets are, and instead consist of particles of water, hydrogen, and helium. Gaseous planets also lack a atmosphere, as the gas merely thins farther away from the gravitational hold of the center. Alternatively, one could say that gas giants are almost entirely composed of an atmosphere for a dense, small, or sometimes almost nonexistent core.
Is hydrogen more abundant on terrestrial planets than on Jovian planets?
No, there is more hydrogen on the Jovian planets then the terrestrial ones.
Why do gaseous planets have more moons than terrestrial planets?
The gassy planets are much more massive than the inner planets, which means that have stronger more far-reaching gravitational fields. That in turn makes them more likely to capture odd collections of rock in the solar system.
Are the jovian planets similar in mass to the terrestrial planets?
No. The Jovian planets are much more massive than the terrestrial planets.

Gas planets are just that - gaseous. This means they are less dense, and more susceptible to centripetal forces. Gas planets also have a tendency to have a faster rotation speed due in part to their large mass. The result is slightly oblate spheroids.
The Jovian planets are more massive but less dense than the terrestrial planets?
Yes, that is correct. The Jovian planets are composed mainly of gases like hydrogen and helium, making them less dense overall compared to the terrestrial planets which have solid surfaces. Additionally, the Jovian planets have much larger volumes due to their gaseous compositions, leading to their greater mass.
What terrestrial planets are there?
The terrestrial planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. There are many more terrestrial planets orbiting stars other than the sun.
Does the terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer planets?
Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.
What set of planets have more moons terrestrial or gas?
gas planets
