How do terrestrial planets differ from the gas giant?

Answer 1

Terrestrial planets are solid and gaseous planets are made of gas. Gaseous planets are huge and terrestrial planets are small. Gas giants are far from the sun and terrestrial planets are close to the sun.

Answer 2

The inner planets are much smaller, but more dense than the outer gasious planets.

Answer 3

Terrestrial planets contain much more of the heavy elements (such as iron and silicon) and less of the lighter elements (such as hydrogen and helium). Terrestrial planets are smaller and denser, and are also closer to the sun, and hence warmer as well. Gas giants are distant and cold.

Answer 4

Terrestrial planets are small, rocky, and have solid surfaces, like Earth and Mars. Gas giants are much larger, composed mainly of hydrogen and helium gases, and have no solid surfaces, like Jupiter and Saturn. Gas giants also have thick atmospheres and lack a well-defined solid surface.

Answer 5

Gas giants are made of liquid and gas, unlike terrestrials, which are made of rock or metal.

Answer 6

A terrestrial planet is composed largely of rock and has a metallic core. A gas giant is made mostly od hydrogen and helium and may have a rocky core.
