Detailed explanation-1: -Terrestrial planets are Earth-like planets made up of rocks or metals with a hard surface. Terrestrial planets also have a molten heavy-metal core, few moons and topological features such as valleys, volcanoes and craters.
Detailed explanation-2: -In general, terrestrial (rocky) planets are denser than the gas and ice giants. Earth has a density of around 5.5 g/cm3 compared with Jupiter’s density of 1.3 g/cm3.
Detailed explanation-3: -The following are reasons being terrestrial planets rocky Terrestrial planets are formed close to Sun where it was too warm for gases to condense to solid particles; only rocky particles remain. The solar wind was most intense near the sun, so it blew off lighter particles materials from terrestrial planets.
