Explanation:

All of the inner planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars - are considered terrestrial planets due to the fact that their surfaces are made mostly of solids (rocks).
Inner planets have no or few moons, with Earth having one moon, and Mars having two. In contrast, the outer planets are much more likely to have moons and rings. For example, Jupiter, known to be the largest planet in the solar system, has several moons. Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus have rings around them.
