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.
