Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Also known as a telluric or rocky planet, a terrestrial planet is a celestial body that is composed primarily of silicate rocks or metals and has a solid surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -Terrestrial Planet Formation The heavier rocky and metallic materials are better suited to condense at higher temperatures. Thus, the inner planets are made almost entirely of rock and metal and form the group known as the terrestrial planets.

Detailed explanation-3: -A terrestrial planet is one that meets these three planetary criteria and has a heavy metal core, a rocky mantle, and a solid surface. Surface conditions can vary greatly from planet to planet, but if it has a solid surface and a rocky inside, it is a terrestrial planet.

Detailed explanation-4: -Terrestrial planets are planets made up of rocks or metals with a hard surface-making them different from other planets that lack a solid surface. Terrestrial planets also have a molten heavy metal core, few moons, and landforms such as cliffs, valleys, volcanoes and craters.
