If Pluto were as large as mercury could it be classified as terrestrial?
No, even if Pluto were as large as Mercury, it would not be classified as terrestrial. Terrestrial planets are composed primarily of rock and metal, while Pluto is composed of ice and rock. Additionally, Pluto's orbit and location in the solar system would still make it more like a dwarf planet rather than a terrestrial planet.
Which planets are not terrestrial mercury earth or Neptune?
The inner planets are called rocky or terrestrial, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. That would make Neptune the odd one out - commonly referred to as an ice giant or gas giant.
Why is Jupiter the gaseous planet?
Jupiter is considered a gaseous planet because its composition is primarily made up of hydrogen and helium gases. Its large size and strong gravity prevent the formation of solid surfaces like those found on terrestrial planets. Jupiter's composition and structure make it distinctly different from rocky planets like Earth.
What make earth different from the other inner planets?
it makes it different becuz it is the only planet which has life!
What planet would be the most impossible planet to land on?
In order to land on a planet, it has to have a solid outer crust. The only planets in the solar system with a solid outer core are the 4 inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars). The planets outside the Asteroid Belt are composed primarily of gas, which would make any landing impossible on those planets.
Which four planets are closest to the sun and make up that inner or terrestrial planet?
MercuryVenusEarthMars
Mercury Venus earth and mars make up?
Inner planets orTerrestrial Planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the "Inner" planets (as they are inside the asteroid belt), but are also called the terrestrial planets, as they are primarily composed of rock and metal.Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are all inner planets.
Is Mars gaseous or terrestrial?
Mars is a terrestrial planet. The word 'terrestrial' means 'Earth-like'. It's applied to planets that are made up mainly of silicate rocks. Such a geological make up is found in the dwarf planet Ceres and among the 'inner planets' of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
What characteristics set the inner planets apart from the outer planet and name the outer planets?
The inner planets are all rocky planets, whereas the outer planets are gas giants. Pluto is the exception. The outer planets also make 99% of our planets and are outside the asteroid belt.
If Pluto were as large as mercury could it be classified as terrestrial?
No, even if Pluto were as large as Mercury, it would not be classified as terrestrial. Terrestrial planets are composed primarily of rock and metal, while Pluto is composed of ice and rock. Additionally, Pluto's orbit and location in the solar system would still make it more like a dwarf planet rather than a terrestrial planet.
Do terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer gas giants?
Terrestrial means on Earth so Earth is the only terrestrial planet This is incorrect, the first 4 planets are terrestrial as they are solidly bound planets. Pluto was also a terrestrial dwarf planet. Any planet can have moons but due to the gas giants having larger gravitational forces they have traditionally gathered more moons. Thusly, no.
What Are the kinds of planets?
The two types are Terrestrial and Jovian (However there are now three)GAS: Gases make up almost the entire planet. its only terrain would be a tiny ball no bigger than the earth's moon in its center. examples of this would be Jupiter and Saturn.ICE: Ices make up the majority of the planet. Uranus and Neptune.Terrestrial - opposite of gaseous, the planet has a solid surface, and a thin atmosphere where its gases reside. examples of this would be Mercury, Venus, Earth and MarsNOTE: Older texts and teachers still refer to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune as Gas Giants. This has been changed since the Voyager flypast.
Which planets are not terrestrial mercury earth or Neptune?
The inner planets are called rocky or terrestrial, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. That would make Neptune the odd one out - commonly referred to as an ice giant or gas giant.
How do the inner planets differ from the outer planets?
The inner planets are solid and aircrafts can land on them. Their temperatures are higher because the are closer to the sun. The outer planets have colder temperatures and less sunlight because they are farther away from the sun. The outer planets are also called the Gas Giants because they are made out of gas. Inner Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars Outer Planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune Dwarf Planets: Pluto, Ceres, eris, Makemake, Haumea
Why is Jupiter the gaseous planet?
Jupiter is considered a gaseous planet because its composition is primarily made up of hydrogen and helium gases. Its large size and strong gravity prevent the formation of solid surfaces like those found on terrestrial planets. Jupiter's composition and structure make it distinctly different from rocky planets like Earth.
What three types of materials thought to make up the inner planets?
There isn't a specific substance that planets are made of. Most planets are made of solids and/or gases. As far as we know, there may be a planet somewhere out there that's made of liquids.Gases, rocks, and ices
What make earth different from the other inner planets?
it makes it different becuz it is the only planet which has life!
