Why the inner palnets also called terrestrial planets?

They all have a clearly defined rocky terrain. The outer gas planets dont have a clearly defined surface or terrain.


How are inner planets all similar?

Inner planets are similar in that they are rocky, terrestrial planets with solid surfaces made up of metal and silicate rock. They are also relatively small compared to the outer gas giants and are typically closer to the Sun, resulting in higher temperatures. Additionally, they have thin or no atmospheres compared to the gas giants.


What is the inner and outer planets and contrast the two groups of planets?

The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The four outer gas giant planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The inner planets are smaller and have a higher average density. The outer planets are much larger, but have no real surface - just atmosphere that gets thicker as you travel inwards. The outer planets all have a ring system (the inner planets dont) while the outer planets have captured a lot more natural satellites or moons than the inner planets.


Why dont the terrestrial planets have rings?

Two main reasons. Firstly, the inner planets are a lot less massive, so their overall gravitational pull is lower than the larger gas planets. Secondly, there is, or has not been, as much material closer to the sun. As a result, the inner planets have captured fewer moons between them. These tend to be the cause of the rings in the outer planets, where orbiting bodies can break up and scatter around the planet in discs.

No, there are no moons orbiting Mercury. Mercury is one of the few planets in our solar system without any natural satellites.
