Jovian planets encompass the gas giants and ice giants of the outer solar system, whereas terrestrial planets include the small rocky planets within the inner solar system.

Discover the four terrestrial planets in our solar system and the many more beyond it.

In the solar system, Jovian planets are located farther from the sun than terrestrial planets, and are therefore cooler. Scientists have found more than 100 Jovian planets around other stars.

Their paper focuses on late accretion's role in the long-term evolution of terrestrial planets, including their distinct geophysical and chemical properties as well as their potential habitability.

A terrestrial planet hovering between Mars and Jupiter would be able to push Earth out of the solar system and wipe out life on this planet, according to a new experiment.

A terrestrial planet hovering between Mars and Jupiter would be able to push Earth out of the solar system and wipe out life on this planet, according to a UC Riverside experiment.

Lightening on Jupiter and Earth may actually be comparable, despite the two planets being vastly different.

A significant disparity exists in rotational speeds between terrestrial and giant planets within our solar system, with giant planets exhibiting considerably faster rotation. The lack of a solid ...

Learn about the Solar System including the planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets and artificial satellites with this guide for KS3 physics students aged 11-14 from BBC Bitesize.

An international team of scientists announced on Wednesday that they have discovered two new "super-Earth" planets just 100 light-years away. Both of them are significantly larger than our own ...
