Question 8 • AZ-Earth and Space Science A (SC301)

Which three words best describe the composition of the inner planets?

Answer
A
solid, smooth, giant
B
rocky, solid, dense
C
giant, dense, gaseous
D
gaseous, smooth, small

Explanation

The inner planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—are terrestrial planets. They are made mostly of rock and metal, so they are rocky and solid, and their materials are packed relatively closely together, making them dense. Therefore, “rocky, solid, dense” is the best description.
