Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars (the dwarf planets Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris also have rocks on their surface.)
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are the planets in our solar system that are small, dense, and have rocky surfaces. These planets are known as the terrestrial planets and are composed primarily of silicate rocks and metals.
The difference between large planets and small planets are that large planets are made up of gases and therefore don't have soild surfaces where as small planets are made up of rocks and other materials liek that and have soild surfaces.
The inner planets are closer to the Sun compared to the outer planets, have solid rocky surfaces, and are smaller in size compared to the outer planets.
Older rocks are more likely to be found on terrestrial planets, like Earth, due to the continuous process of rock formation and recycling through plate tectonics. This process is less prevalent on other planetary bodies like the Moon or asteroids, resulting in a relative lack of older rocks on those surfaces.
No. Gas planets do not have solid 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.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are the inner planets that have rocky surfaces. These planets are primarily composed of silicate rocks and metals, with solid surfaces that range from cratered and mountainous terrains to volcanic plains and valleys.
They are very small compared to outer planets, mostly made up of rocks, closer to the sun and they do not have rings.

The inner planets are closer to the Sun compared to the outer planets, have solid rocky surfaces, and are smaller in size compared to the outer planets.
All the inner planets are rocky or terrestrial planets.
Older rocks are more likely to be found on terrestrial planets, like Earth, due to the continuous process of rock formation and recycling through plate tectonics. This process is less prevalent on other planetary bodies like the Moon or asteroids, resulting in a relative lack of older rocks on those surfaces.
No. Gas planets do not have solid surfaces.
All planets with solid surfaces have craters.
planets don't rotates simultaneously their inner and outer surfaces..some planets rotate outer surfaces faster than their inner surfaces..or vice versa..the reason of that is ,,every planet are huge groups of non single chunks of rocks...meaning,,planets are made of many pieces of huge rocks..if the forces of the rotation will come from the inner surface..the outer surface will follow slowly rotating in same direction..the boundary created inside the outer and inner surfaces will become so hot and melted the grind rocks into a lava..lava that become volcanoes when reaches the outer surface. . Edit : I don't agree with much of that. However different rotation times are possible when a planet contains fluids.
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have rocky surfaces composed of silicate minerals and metals. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have gas surfaces, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. Additionally, outer planets may have icy surfaces due to the presence of water and other ices.
