Dwarf Planets Vs Terrestial Planets

Terrestial planets are planets composed primarily of rocks and/or metals. Terrestial planets have a solid surface and surface structures such as canyons, craters, and mountains. An example of a Terrestial planet in our solar system is Mercury. The Jovian planets are made of gasses or ices, rather than rock or other solid material. These planets are much larger in size in comparison to the Terrestial planets. An example of a Jovian planet in our solar system is Jupiter. The difference between Dwarf planets and other planets is that Dwarf planets have not cleared the area around it's orbit. Dwarf planets are similar to Terrestial planets because they are made of solid materials. An example of a Dwarf planet in our solar system is Ceres.
