The four planets closest to the Sun have similar compositions (rock/metal), and all have solid surfaces. They are therefore grou

ped together as terrestrial ("Earth-like") planets. Even though they formed from the same process of accretion in the Solar Nebula, you'll see here that their surfaces are significantly different from one another.
Why are these planets so different? To answer this, we must start with an understanding of the processes that cause planetary surfaces to change: volcanism, tectonics, erosion, and impacts.
