The Terrestrial Planets

The terrestrial planets are the four innermost planets in the solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth and
Mars. They are called terrestrial because they have a compact, rocky surface like the Earth's. The
planets, Venus, Earth, and Mars have significant atmospheres while Mercury has almost none.

The Jovian Planets

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are known as the Jovian (Jupiter-like) planets, because they are
all gigantic compared with Earth, and they have a gaseous nature like Jupiter's. The Jovian planets
are also referred to as the gas giants, although some or all of them might have small solid cores.

The Sun contains 99.85% of all the matter in the Solar System. The planets, which condensed out of
the same disk of material that formed the Sun, contain only 0.135% of the mass of the solar system.
Jupiter contains more than twice the matter of all the other planets combined. Satellites of the
planets, comets, asteroids, meteoroids, and the interplanetary medium constitute the remaining
0.015%. The following table is a list of the mass distribution within our Solar System.
