The main difference is size. Jovian planets are very large and terrestrial planets aren't. Jovian planets are also made of gas and terrestrials are made of rocks.

How do the escape velocities of the jovian planets compare to the terrestrial planets?
The Jovian planets have much higher escape velocities.
Is the average density of terrestrial planets the same density as Jovian planet?
No. Terrestrial planets are much denser than Jovian planets.
How does the eather compare in size to other planets?
It is the biggest terrestrial planet, but far smaller than the four jovian planets.
Is Mercury jovain?
Mercury is not a jovian planet because all planets after Jupiter and Jupiter are all jovian planets. So Jupiter, Saturn , Uranus , Neptune and the poor old Pluto that was booted from the planets are all jovian.
What criteria are the planets placed into either the Jovian or terrestrial groups?
Size, density, composition, and the rate of the rotation are used to place the planets in either Jovian or Terrestrial.
How does the diameter of the terrestrial and jovian planets compare?
The diameter of a terrestrial and jovian planets are comparable in the sense that the objects orbiting on a terrestrial level are often much bigger than those of jovian planets.
How do Jovian and terrestrial planets compare?
Jovian planets are more massive and lower in average density. Terrestrial planets are smaller and higher in average density.
How do the escape velocities of the jovian planets compare to the terrestrial planets?
The Jovian planets have much higher escape velocities.
Are the jovian planets similar in mass to the terrestrial planets?
No. The Jovian planets are much more massive than the terrestrial planets.
Is hydrogen more abundant on terrestrial planets than on Jovian planets?
No, there is more hydrogen on the Jovian planets then the terrestrial ones.
What are terrestrial planets and jovian planets?
The Terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Is a Jovian planets is call Inner?
Inner planets are terrestrial planets outer are jovian planets
Is the average density of terrestrial planets the same density as Jovian planet?
No. Terrestrial planets are much denser than Jovian planets.
Is Jupiter a terrestrial or a Jovian planet?
Jupiter is a Jovian Plant. The adjective Jovian has come to mean anything associated with Jupiter; and by extension, a Jupiter-like planet. The Jovian planets are the gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune. Many, if not most, of the exoplanets discovered to date appear to be Jovian. By contrast, terrestrial, aka telluric, aka rocky planets differ significantly from the gas giant/Jovian planets in that they are composed primarily of metals and silicate rocks (hence "rocky" planets) like Earth, aka Terra (from which we get the word terrestrial) and are "Earth-like" as opposed to "jupiter-like"/Jovian. The terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. All the dwarf planets are also more terrestrial than jovian.
Terrestrial and jovian planets?
Terrestrial planets are the solid planets like Earth and Mars. Jovian planets are those gas planets like Jupiter and Saturn.
How does the eather compare in size to other planets?
It is the biggest terrestrial planet, but far smaller than the four jovian planets.
The most obvious difference between the terrestrial and the jovian planets is?
The size. The gaseous Jovian planets are far larger than the inner terrestrial planets.
