Question

examine the model below showing the four terrestrial planets: mercury, venus, earth, and mars. based on the model, which statement correctly describes the characteristics and location of these planets in the solar system? mercury, venus, earth, and mars are located far from the sun and are known for their gaseous atmosphere. the terrestrial planets are located close to the sun and are characterized by their rocky surfaces and dense compositions. these planets are located in the outer region of the solar system and have low densities compared to the gas giants. the model shows that terrestrial planets have extensive ring systems and are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium.

Explanation:

Terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are close to the Sun and have rocky surfaces and dense compositions. They are not far from the Sun, not in the outer - region, and don't have extensive ring systems or be primarily composed of hydrogen and helium.

Answer:

The terrestrial planets are located close to the Sun and are characterized by their rocky surfaces and dense compositions.
