Which statement accurately describes the inner planets?

Answer
A
Uranus is one of the inner planets.
B
The inner planets formed when the solar system cooled.
C
The inner planets are also called terrestrial planets.
D
The inner planets are larger than the outer planets.

Explanation

The inner planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—are rocky worlds with solid surfaces, so they are also called terrestrial planets. Uranus is an outer planet, and the outer planets are generally larger than the inner planets. Therefore, the accurate statement is that the inner planets are also called terrestrial planets.
