The back of the hand, i.e. not the palm, is called the Dorsum. The same word is used to refer to the top of the foot, i.e. not the sole. Incorrect to reffer to the dorsum of the foot as the back as it is clearly continuous with the front of the leg.

Well, ^ is technically correct. The back of your hand is called a dorsum. But that's not the name. If you look up dorsum, it just tells you its the dorsal part of the structure. The actualnamed part of the back of the hand is the opisthenard

Do inner planets have rocky surfaces?

Yes, inner planets like Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars have rocky surfaces. These planets are primarily composed of silicate rocks and metals, with solid surfaces that are differentiated into crusts, mantles, and cores. The rocky surfaces of these inner planets differ in terms of composition, age, and geologic processes that have shaped them over time.
