All inner planets have approximately the same type of structure: a central metallic core, mostly iron, with a surrounding silicate mantle.
The mantle is covered by the crust. The surface is part of the crust.
The surfaces are made of rocks.
In the case of the Earth, about 70 % of the surface is actually the water of the oceans.

The surfaces of the inner planets are mostly made of?
Rock.
Which is not true in the inner planets?
the inner planets have rocky surfaces
How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?
The inner planets' surface materials differ from the outer planets because the inner planets have rocky surfaces and the outer planets have gas surfaces.
How do inner planets differ from the outer one?
They have rocky surfaces.
How are inner planets characterized?
Inner planets are characterized by their proximity to the sun and their rocky composition. They are also known as terrestrial planets as they have solid surfaces and are made up of mostly rock and metal. Inner planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are generally smaller and have shorter orbital periods compared to outer planets.
The surfaces of the inner planets are mostly made of?
Rock.
Which is not true in the inner planets?

How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?
The inner planets' surface materials differ from the outer planets because the inner planets have rocky surfaces and the outer planets have gas surfaces.
Do inner planets have rocky surfaces?
yes
Do all the inner planets have rocky surfaces?
Yes. They are the terrestrial planets.
What is the surface of inner planets like?
Rocky Surfaces
Why are inner planets called rock planets?
They have solid surfaces composed of rock.
How are the inner planets different then the outer planets how?
The inner planets have rocky, hard surfaces, are small, and have a more presentage of containing metal objects.
Why are the surfaces of the inner planets rocky and solid yet the surfaces of the outer planets are gasous with icy centers?
There is no particular reason why the outer planets are gas and the inner planets are rock, but the outer planets have icy cores because they are all far away from the sun.
What are the common characteritics of the inner planets?
they are small and have rocky surfaces
How do inner planets differ from the outer one?
They have rocky surfaces.
Is mars made up rock or gas?
inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars ---> rocky surfaces outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune ---> gas planets
