Detailed explanation-1: -Venus is about the same size as Earth, but has a much hotter surface and atmosphere. Mars is smaller than Earth and has only a thin atmosphere and is colder. A gas giant is a planet made primarily of hydrogen and helium. Jupiter and Saturn are both gas giants.
Detailed explanation-2: -A gas giant is a GIANT planet that is made of gas! They are different from rocky or terrestrial planets that are made of mostly rock. Unlike rocky planets, gas giants do not have a well-defined surface – there is no clear boundary between where the atmosphere ends and the surface starts!
Detailed explanation-3: -With the exception of Pluto, planets in our solar system are classified as either terrestrial (Earth-like) or Jovian (Jupiter-like) planets. Terrestrial planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets are relatively small in size and in mass.
Detailed explanation-4: -The planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are called terrestrial because they have a compact, rocky surface like Earth’s terra firma. The terrestrial planets are the four innermost planets in the solar system.
