The lithosphere is the solid, rocky crust covering entire planet. This crust is inorganic and is composed of minerals.
Earth and Venus because they have the most internal heat
No, Earth's surface consists of a variety of materials, including soil, rocks, water, and vegetation. Soil covers a relatively small portion of the planet's surface compared to other materials.
Yes, the Earth's lithosphere is part of the outer shell of the planet which includes the crust and the upper part of the mantle. So, as residents of Earth, we do exist within the lithosphere.
The lithosphere come from two Greek words which means sphere and rocky. The lithosphere is the rigid and the outermost shell of a rocky planet that is defined on the basis of the mechanical properties.

I think you mean Lithosphere. the lithosphere is the top solid crust portion of planet Earth. it consists of the Ocean floor and Continents. Below the lithosphere is the aesthenosphere. Which begins to get very hot.
The hydrosphere is the liquid layer of the planet Earth, consisting primarily of the oceans. It covers most of the Earth. Above it is the atmosphere, and below it is the lithosphere which is a layer of rock. Some of the lithosphere is exposed, since water does not cover the entire surface. The exposed portion is known as dry land.
Look at your category... They are called Tectonic Plates.
Yes. Well, more or less rigid.
Lithosphere is the outermost shell of a rocky planet.
The lithosphere is the outermost shell of a rocky planet. On Earth, it is the crust and the upper mantle of the planet, containing the tectonic plates.
The lithosphere is the solid outer layer of Earth that includes the crust and upper portion of the mantle. It is composed of large, rigid tectonic plates that float on the semi-fluid asthenosphere below. The lithosphere is where all landmasses, continents, and oceanic crust are located.
The ozone layer covers the entire planet twice a year, every year. That is when it is biggest.

Mercury does have a lithosphere, which is the outer solid shell of the planet. However, the lithosphere on Mercury is relatively thin compared to Earth's. This is because Mercury has a larger proportion of its volume made up of its iron core, causing its lithosphere to be thinner.
