Terrestrial Planets

1. TERRESTRIAL
PLANETS

2. A TERRESTRIAL PLANET, TELLURIC PLANET, OR
ROCKY PLANET, IS A PLANET THAT IS
COMPOSED PRIMARILY OF SILICATE ROCKS OR
METALS. TERRESTRIAL PLANETS HAVE A SOLID
PLANETARY SURFACE, MAKING THEM
SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT FROM LARGER
GASEOUS PLANETS, WHICH ARE COMPOSED
MOSTLY OF SOME COMBINATION OF
HYDROGEN, HELIUM, AND WATER EXISTING IN
VARIOUS PHYSICAL STATES.
WHAT IS A TERRESTRIAL
PLANET?

3. EXAMPLES OF
TERRESTRIAL PLANETS
MERCURY
VENUS MARS
EARTH

4. MERCURY
MERCURY IS THE FIRST PLANET
FROM THE SUN AND THE
SMALLEST PLANET IN THE SOLAR
SYSTEM. IT IS A TERRESTRIAL
PLANET WITH A HEAVILY
CRATERED SURFACE DUE TO THE
PLANET HAVING NO GEOLOGICAL
ACTIVITY AND AN EXTREMELY
TENUOUS ATMOSPHERE.

5. GEOLOGY OF MERCURY
-MERCURYS SURFACE IS
DOMINATED WITH BASALTIC
ROCKS SMOOTH PLAINSAND
SOLID CRATERED-SURFACE
-CALORIS IS THE BIGGEST CRATER IN
MERCURYS SURFACE
-MERCURYS INTERIOR HAS LARGE CORE
MANTLE AND CRUST

6. GEOLOGY OF MERCURY
-MERCURYS
TEMPERATURE AT NOON
TEMPERATURE TAKES TO
430 DEGRESS CELSIUS
AND MEANWHILE
NIGTHTIME IT TAKES UP
TO 180 DEGRESS CELSIUS

7. VENUS
VENUS IS THE SECOND PLANET
FROM THE SUN MAKING IT THE
HOTTEST PKANET IN THE SOLAR
SYSTEM WHICH TEMPERATURES
EXCEED UP TO 475 DEGRESS
CELSIUS. IT IS A ROCKY PLANET
WITH THE DENSENT
ATMOSPHERE OF ALL THE ROCKY
BODIES IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM,
AND THE ONLY ONE WITH A
MASS AND SIZE THAT IS CLOSE
TO THAT OF ITS ORBITAL
NEIGHBOUR EARTH.

8. GEOLOGY OF VENUS
-VENUS HAS A BOILING SURFACE
WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE
COMPLETLY ERASED MOST
TRACES ITS EARLY
SURFACE.VENUS HAS A
LANDSCAPE OF VALLEYS AND
MOUNTAINS DOTTED WITH
THOUSAND OF VOLCANOES.
-VENUS INTERIOR HAS IRON CORE
ENVELOPED BY HOT ROCK
MANTLE THINNEST OF SKIN
FORMS A ROCKY EXTERIOIR.

9. EARTH
EARTH IS THE THIRD PLANET
FROM THE SUN AND THE ONLY
ASTRONOMICAL OBJECT KNOWN
TO HARBOR LIFE. THIS IS
ENABLED BY EARTH BEING A
WATER WORLD, THE ONLY ONE
IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
SUSTAINING LIQUID SURFACE
WATER.

10. GEOLOGY OF EARTH
-EARTH IS A ROCKY PLANET
WITH SOLID AND DYNAMIC
SURFACE OF
MOUNTAINS,CANYONS,PLAINS
AND MORE.THE PLANET IS
MOSTLY COVERED WITH WATER
BEING CALLED IT THE BLUE
PLANET.

11. MARS
MARS IS THE FOURTH PLANET
AND THE FURTHEST TERRESTRIAL
PLANET FROM THE SUN. THE
REDDISH COLOR OF ITS SURFACE
IS DUE TO FINELY GRAINED
IRON(III) OXIDE DUST IN THE SOIL,
GIVING IT THE NICKNAME "THE
RED PLANET". MARS'S RADIUS IS
SECOND SMALLEST AMONG THE
PLANETS IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
AT 3,389.5 KM

12. GEOLOGY OF MARS
-THE GEOLOGY OF MARS IS THE
SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE
SURFACE, CRUST, AND INTERIOR
OF THE PLANET MARS. IT
EMPHASIZES THE COMPOSITION,
STRUCTURE, HISTORY, AND
PHYSICAL PROCESSES THAT
SHAPE THE PLANET. IT IS
ANALOGOUS TO THE FIELD OF
TERRESTRIAL GEOLOGY.
