Solar system

rocky planets

The rocky planets of the Solar System are Mercury, Venus, Land and MarsThey are so named because their surface is solid, composed of rocks that have been joined together from many smaller rocks, through a process called accretion. The area that corresponds to the rocky planets is also called the "inner Solar System", and also represents our closest "neighborhood", which is why most space missions have been dedicated to exploring its components, with special emphasis on Mars.

Rocky planets, on the other hand, are clearly smaller in size compared to their gaseous peers, and have a much smaller number of satellites overall: Mercury and Venus have none, while the Earth has one (the Moon). , and Mars has two (Phobos and Deimos).
