What are inner planets and sometimes what are they called?
There are four planets in our solar system considered 'inner planets': Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These four also belong to the classification "terrestrial planets." Three of them (Venus, Earth, and Mars) are in the habitable zone, a zone in every system in which life can live, under the right conditions.
Compare and contrast terrestrial and gas planets?
Terrestrial Planets-Rocky Small Few Moons Small(compared to gas giants) Gas Planets - Helium and Hydrogen based Denser cores. Have rings. Many Moons. Very large Longer Revolution time. Comparisons- Planets Under the sun's gravitational pull. Part of Milky Way galaxy
Why are the inner planets different to the outer planets?
The inner planets are all considered rocky planets in that under atmospheric layers, they have a rocky surface. The outer planets are made of gas and liquid, and are called gas giants. They have no solid surface. Also, all the outer planets have rings while the inner planets do not.
Does titan could be a planet too?
Titan and Ganymede are both larger (but less massive) than Mercury and could certainly be called planets if they qualified under the IAU criteria. The conditions include a requirement that they orbit the Sun, and not Saturn or Jupiter, respectively, which currently make them moons, not true planets. They would further need to have cleared their orbits if they were in solar orbit.
Why are larger planets more geologically active than smaller ones?
Gas giant planets are not known to be geologically active, since their cores are under a hot, dense lower atmosphere. A larger terrestrial planet, however, might exhibit a greater segregation of heavier metals in the core, as on Earth, leaving the lighter minerals more likely to be affected by tidal forces.

Mercury Venus earth and mars make up?
Inner planets orTerrestrial Planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the "Inner" planets (as they are inside the asteroid belt), but are also called the terrestrial planets, as they are primarily composed of rock and metal.Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are all inner planets.
Describe a terrestrial planet?
To qualify as a planet, a body has to be approximately spherical (achieving hydrostatic equilibrium under its own gravity), it has to orbit the sun directly and it has to have cleared its orbit of all other objects - so that at that distance from the sun, there are no other sizable bodies.

Is Mars terrestrial?
yet there is no proof that there was any life on mars. but it is terrestrial as it has water and all the vital nutrients needed for life but it wont support life because its atmosphere is way too thin and it's pressure is so low that blood would boil at normal body temperature.
Which planets don't have rings?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Whether Pluto is considered a planet anymore is under question, but it does not have any rings either. All of the giant planets, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter have rings.

Do we have 11 planets in the solar system?
Technically yes. If you list ALL 13 known planets in order, including dwarf planets, they are:1. Mercury2. Venus3. Earth4. Mars5. Ceres6. Jupiter7. Saturn8. Uranus9. Neptune10. Pluto11. Haumea12. Makemake13. ErisDwarf planets also fall under the category of minor planets, of which there are thousands in our solar system. As of 2017, the orbits of 734,274 minor planets were archived at the Minor Planet Center, 496,815 of which had received permanent numbers. The largest minor planet that is not considered to be a dwarf planet is Sedna.
Are the eight planets under the sun or above it?
Neither. The eight planets orbit the sun, but in space there is no "under" or "over."
Why are the planets rotating continuously?
There is no friction in space to stop them so they keep on spinning under what is called conservation of angular momentum.
How are the greek gods similar the planets?
Later when the religion went to Rome they called the gods differently. For example Hades god of the under world was called Pluto ,and Poseidon was called Neptune
