The Terrestrial group includes rocky worlds that tend to range in mass between 0.02 and 5.0 times that of the Earth. They are massive enough to have geological activity, a magnetic field and an atmosphere. | The Terrestrial group includes rocky worlds that tend to range in mass between 0.02 and 5.0 times that of the Earth.
