Terrestrial planet
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 are the inner planets closest to the Sun , i.e. Mercury , Venus , Earth , and Mars . The terms "terrestrial planet" and "telluric planet" are derived from Latin words for Earth ( Terra and Tellus ), as these planets are, in terms of structure, "Earth-like".

A terrestrial planet , telluric planet or rocky planet is a planet that is primarily composed of silicate rocks . The term is derived from the Latin word for Earth , " Terra ", so an alternate definition would be that these are planets which are, in some notable fashion, "Earth-like". Terrestrial planets are substantially different from gas giants , which might not have solid surfaces and are composed mostly of some combination of hydrogen , helium , and water existing in various physical states . Terrestrial planets all have roughly the same structure: a central metallic core, mostly iron , with a surrounding silicate mantle . The Moon is similar, but lacks an iron core. Terrestrial planets have canyons , craters , mountains , and volcanoes . Terrestrial planets possess secondary atmospheres -- atmospheres generated through internal vulcanism or comet impacts, as opposed to the gas giants, which possess primary atmospheres -- atmospheres captured directly from the original solar nebula . |

A terrestrial planet is a planet that is mostly composed of silicate rocks and may or may not have a relatively thin atmosphere . The term is derived from the Greek word for Earth , so an alternate definition would be those planets that are more Earth-like than not. Terrestrial planets are very different from gas giants , which may or may not have solid surfaces and are composed mostly of hydrogen and helium in various physical states . Only one terrestrial planet, Earth, is known to have an active hydrosphere . |

Terrestrial planets all have roughly the same structure: a central metallic core, mostly iron, with a surrounding silicate mantle. The Moon is similar but lacks an iron core. At one time there were probably many more terrestrials, but most have been ejected from the solar system or otherwise destroyed. |
