TERRESTRIAL PLANET

A terrestrial planet, telluric

planet, or rocky planet is a
planet that is composed
primarily of silicate rocks or
metals.
Within the Solar System, the
terrestrial planets are the
inner planets closest to the
Sun, i.e. Mercury, Venus,
Earth, and Mars.

GAS PLANET

A gas giant is a large planet

composed mostly of gases,
such as hydrogen and
helium, with a relatively small
rocky core.

The gas giants of our solar

system are Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus and Neptune
