Rocky, dense, and relatively small planets are typically referred to as terrestrial planets. In our solar system, these include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are characterized by solid surfaces, metallic cores, and a lack of extensive ring systems or large numbers of moons compared to gas giants. These planets have higher densities due to their composition, which includes silicate rocks and metals.
