Terrestrial giants are rocky planets that are much larger than Earth but retain a solid, rocky composition rather than becoming gas giants like Jupiter or Saturn. They could be several times Earth’s mass but are still smaller and less dense than the giant gaseous planets.
Terrestrial giants have a much greater mass than Earth (often 5–10 times the mass of Earth or more). This large mass leads to stronger gravity and could affect planetary atmospheres and geology.
Habitability Potential
Terrestrial giants in the habitable zone of their stars are particularly interesting for
exoplanet research, as they might support thick, stable atmospheres and, potentially, liquid
water. The size and atmosphere could create environments that sustain life forms adapted to
stronger gravity.
It made primarily of rock and metal, similar to Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.
