Jovian and Terrestrial planets
Our solar system is part of a larger solar nebula.
Most of the planets in our solar system have a nearly circular orbit around our sun.
Terrestrial and Jovian planets have weather.
The planets in our solar system have similar interiors composed of a core and a mantle.
storms and winds influence the conditions on the planets.
Jupiter has a storm area that is the size of two Earths.
Earth's magnetic field helps create the planet's auroras by deflecting the charged particles of the "solar wind."
The only planet that has a different orbit is Mercury.
The discovery of extrasolar planets has introduced problems into our understanding of solar system formation.
The natural elements present on the planets today were present in that solar nebula.
Our sun and the Jovian planets consist mainly of hydrogen and helium, while the inner rocky planet consists mainly of silicon, iron and copper.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune collectively make up the group known as the jovian planets.
Mercury’s orbit is inclined by 7 degrees to Earth’s orbital plane
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 accepted by the IAU are the inner planets closest to the Sun, i.e. 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.
The main atmosphere of terrestrial planets is a gaseous mix of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gases, and all terrestrial planets have rocky surfaces.
Jovian planets are larger, further from the sun, rotate faster, have more moons, have more rings, are less dense overall and have denser cores than terrestrial planets.
ovian Planets have a large gaseous composition and a small, molten rock core.
