The planets with solid surfaces that have been extensively mapped using radar include Venus and Mars. On Venus, the Magellan spacecraft used radar to produce detailed maps of its surface, revealing features like mountains, valleys, and volcanic structures. Mars has also been mapped using radar, particularly by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has provided insights into its geology and surface composition. Additionally, some of the larger moons of the outer planets, such as Titan, have been mapped using radar techniques as well.
No. Gas planets do not have solid 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.
Planets with solid rocky surfaces are called terrestrial planets. These planets are usually composed of rock and metal, with a thinner atmosphere compared to gas giants. Examples of terrestrial planets include Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.
The four outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) do not have solid surfaces because they are predominantly composed of gases and liquids. These planets are known as gas giants or ice giants due to their large size, thick atmospheres, and lack of a solid surface for landing.
The four giant planets lack solid surfaces.
All planets with solid surfaces have craters.
No. Gas planets do not have solid surfaces.
They have solid surfaces composed of rock.

Terrestrial
No. The outer planets do not have solid surfaces. Those planets are made of gases held together by gravity.
No, they lack a solid material, so that is why they are otherwise known as gas giants.
All the planets after the asteroid belt except for Pluto and Charon. (Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, neptune)
