Answer 1

Terrestrial planets are formed from rocks which are also known as telluric planet. They are composed primarily of silicate rocks or metals. Then, the Jovian planets are known as gas planets.

Answer 2

None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Terrestria planets or telluric planets are those formed mainly by rocks and metals, have a solid surface without the incidence of rings, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system, its core consists of dense metal, especially iron.

Jovian planets are also called distant gas giants, they are very large planets with a gas atmosphere (such as hydrogen, helium and methane) and are located far from the sun. Examples: Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune.
