Abstract: Comparative Geology of the Inner Planets: Geological Characteristics of Earth, Moon, Mars, Venus and MercuryEdward J. ZellerHouston Geological Society Bulletin
The four inner planets — Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars — share several features in common. Astronomers call them "terrestrial planets" because they have solid, rocky surfaces roughly similar to desert and mountainous areas on the earth. The inner planets are much smaller than Jupiter, Saturn,...

These included the Sun and Earth’s Moon, as well as the five planets in the modern sense—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn—that were readily visible as celestial wanderers before the invention of the telescope. After the idea of an Earth-centred cosmos was dispelled (see ...
Although smaller than Earth, Mercury is the most massive planet of all the telluric (or rocky) planets in the solar system, including Venus, Earth, and Mars. Due to its mass, Mercury has a stronger gravity than one would expect given its small size. Mercury's gravity is about 38% of ...
