<p>
The inner Solar System is the region comprising the terrestrial planets and the
asteroid [Link] mainly of silicates and metals, the objects of the inner
Solar System are relatively close to the Sun; the radius of this entire region is
less than the distance between the orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. This region is
also within the frost line, which is a little less than 5 AU (750 million km; 460
million mi) from the Sun.

<h3 font size = 15><u><b>INNER PLANETS</b></u></h3>
<p>The four terrestrial or inner planets have dense, rocky compositions, few or no
moons, and no ring systems. They are in hydrostatic equilibrium, forming a rounded
shape, and have undergone planetary differentiation, causing chemical elements to
accumulate at different radii. They are composed largely of refractory minerals
such as silicates—which form their crusts and mantles—and metals such as iron and
nickel which form their cores.<br>
The term inner planet should not be confused with inferior planet, which
designates those planets that are closer to the Sun than Earth (i.e. Mercury and
Venus).</p>
<br>
<h3 font size = 15><u><b>MERCURY</b></u></h3>
<p>Mercury (0.307–0.588 AU (45.9–88.0 million km; 28.5–54.7 million mi) from the
Sun) is the closest planet to the Sun. The smallest planet in the Solar System
(0.055 MEarth), Mercury has no natural satellites. The dominant geological features
are impact craters or basins with ejecta blankets, the remains of early volcanic
activity including magma flows, and lobed ridges or rupes that were probably
produced by a period of contraction early in the planet's history.<br>
Hypotheses include that its outer layers were stripped off by a giant impact, or
that it was prevented from fully accreting by the young Sun's [Link] have
been searches for "Vulcanoids", asteroids in stable orbits between Mercury and the
Sun, but none have been discovered.

<h3 font size = 15><u><b>VENUS</b></u></h3>
<p>Venus (0.718–0.728 AU (107.4–108.9 million km; 66.7–67.7 million mi) from the
Sun) is close in size to Earth (0.815 MEarth) and, like Earth, has a thick silicate
mantle around an iron core, a substantial atmosphere, and evidence of internal
geological activity. It is much drier than Earth, and its atmosphere is ninety
times as dense. Venus has no natural satellites. It is the hottest planet, with
surface temperatures over 400 °C (752 °F), mainly due to the amount of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere.

<br>
<h3 font size = 15><u><b>EARTH</b></u></h3>
<p>Earth (0.983–1.017 AU (147.1–152.1 million km; 91.4–94.5 million mi) from the
Sun) is the largest and densest of the inner planets, the only one known to have
current geological activity, and the only place in the universe where life is known
to exist. Its liquid hydrosphere is unique among the terrestrial planets, and it is
the only planet where plate tectonics has been [Link]'s atmosphere is

<h3 font size = 15><u><b>MARS</b></u></h3>
<p>Mars (1.382–1.666 AU (206.7–249.2 million km; 128.5–154.9 million mi) from the
Sun) is smaller than Earth and Venus (0.107 MEarth). It has an atmosphere of mostly
carbon dioxide with a surface pressure of 6.1 millibars (0.088 psi; 0.18 inHg);
roughly 0.6% of that of Earth but sufficient to support weather [Link]

<h3 font size = 15><u><b>ASTEROID BELT</b></u></h3>
<p>
Asteroids except for the largest, Ceres, are classified as small Solar System
bodies and are composed mainly of carbonaceous, refractory rocky and metallic
minerals, with some ice. They range from a few metres to hundreds of kilometres in
size. Asteroids smaller than one meter are usually called meteoroids and
micrometeoroids (grain-sized), with the exact division between the two categories
being debated over the years. As of 2017, the IAU designates asteroids having a
diameter between about 30 micrometres and 1 metre as micrometeoroids, and terms
smaller particles "dust".
The asteroid belt occupies the orbit between Mars and Jupiter, between 2.3 and 3.3
AU (340 and 490 million km; 210 and 310 million mi) from the Sun.</p>
