SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -From top: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The four planets closest to the Sun-Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars-are the inner planets or terrestrial planets (Figure below). They are similar to Earth. All are solid, dense, and rocky. None of the inner planets has rings.

Detailed explanation-3: -Statement 1: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are known as inner planets. They have less number of moons or no moons. Statement 2: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are known as outer planets. They have large number of moons and all have a ring system around them.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the inner Solar System, we find the “Inner Planets” – Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars – which are so named because they orbit closest to the Sun. In addition to their proximity, these planets have a number of key differences that set them apart from planets elsewhere in the Solar System.

Detailed explanation-5: -) In contrast, the four outer planets, also called the Jovian, or giant, planets-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune-are large objects with densities less than 2 grams per cubic cm; they are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium (Jupiter and Saturn) or of ice, rock, hydrogen, and helium (Uranus and Neptune).…
