None of the 4 gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have Earth-like solid surfaces on their exteriors, but rather deep, very dense atmospheres.
Of the four terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) Mercury is the only one without a substantial atmosphere, or current vulcanism, and has a pitted, cratered surface.
What else can I help you with?
What can people do to decrease erosion of the earths surface?
The inner planets are different from the other planets mainly because
What feature separates the rocky planets from the gas planets?
Depth of the atmosphere. Gas planets have the thickest and largest of atmospheres. Below gas planets atmospheres are pools of hydrogen or in some cases volatile ices that form in a giant ocean above the surface. It's estimated that Jupiter's rocky surface is only about the size of three Earths but the bloated atmosphere makes for most of the planet.
Which planets surface gravity is 38 percent that of earths?
Both mercury and mars have a gravity which is around 38% of earths. Mercury's gravity is 37.8% of earths, Mars' gravity is 37.7% of earths.
What is the earths sisterplanet?
Venus is often referred to as Earth's sister planet because they are similar in size and composition. Both planets have rocky surfaces and are located in the inner solar system. However, Venus has a very different atmosphere, with extreme temperatures and a thick layer of clouds made of sulfuric acid.
What is earths closest neighboring planets?
Venus and Mars are the neighbouring planets of Earth

Why are the craters on earths surface less evident than those on other terrestial planets surfaces?
The earth has an atmosphere which produces weathering of the land surfaces. Weathering gradually wears down features such as crater rims so the craters gradually become less evident and eventually disappear.
What do the the outer planets have in common?
They are all gas planets. They are all quite large and made from gas, so there is no real surface like that of earths.
What feature separates the rocky planets from the gas planets?
Depth of the atmosphere. Gas planets have the thickest and largest of atmospheres. Below gas planets atmospheres are pools of hydrogen or in some cases volatile ices that form in a giant ocean above the surface. It's estimated that Jupiter's rocky surface is only about the size of three Earths but the bloated atmosphere makes for most of the planet.
Which rocky planet has the strongest gravitational pull?
Of the four inner, rocky planets, Earth is the largest and most massive. As a consequence, it has the highest surface gravity of the four inner planets. The gravity for Venus is around 90% of Earths, while for Mars and Mercury the surface gravity is around 38% of Earths.
Why do the poles receive the less solar energy than the equator does?
Because the middle of the earths surface is the hottest on earth and the equator is right in the middle and the poles is at the end of the earths surfaces
What planets gravity is one-fourth the gravity of earth?
Of the planets in our solar system, Mars has the lowest surface gravity of around 38% of earths - over one third. This comes closest to the 25%. We then have moons and dwarf planets, but these have much lower surface gravities.
Which planets have a surface gravity greater than earths?
All 4 gas giants : Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
Which planets surface gravity is 38 percent that of earths?
Both mercury and mars have a gravity which is around 38% of earths. Mercury's gravity is 37.8% of earths, Mars' gravity is 37.7% of earths.
How does albedo affect the behavior of solar radiation reaching earths surface?
Albedo refers to the reflectivity of a surface. Surfaces with high albedo reflect more solar radiation back into space, which can cool the Earth's surface and lower temperatures. Surfaces with low albedo absorb more solar radiation, leading to warming of the Earth's surface.
Where is earths surface heated more south pole or north pole?
it is different in different points of the year.
What is the earths sisterplanet?
Venus is often referred to as Earth's sister planet because they are similar in size and composition. Both planets have rocky surfaces and are located in the inner solar system. However, Venus has a very different atmosphere, with extreme temperatures and a thick layer of clouds made of sulfuric acid.
