Jovian and Terrestrial planets
Terrestrial Planets
Terrestrial planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars
also known as the inner planets of the solar system
inner planets have a iron core
Mercury is the closest inner planet
Mars, earth, and Venus have atmosphere that are able to generate weather

inner planets rotate slower
mars has a diameter of 2,110 miles
the solar system was believed to be formed roughly around 4.5 billion years ago
Jovian Planets
Very Big planets containing 10x the mass of our earth
most of the Jovian planets compositions are gas
made up of mostly rock and hydrogen
Most gas giants have rings as well
the cores of these gas giants are crushed under tremendously high pressure
Underneath the heavy atmosphere of Jupiter and Saturn are layers of molecular hydrogen
contain chunks of material
mostly composed of water, ammonia and methane all of this is found in the core

also know as gas giants
gas giants are not all gas for example Uranus
Uranus has a ice layer over its solid rock core
they have no solid surface
they are less flat then terrestrials
made up of hydrogen and helium gas
varying degrees of heavier elements
Uranus and Neptune are planets that is at least ten times the mass of earth
