A terrestrial planet, telluric planet, or rocky planet is a planet, composed of silicate rocks or metals. Within the Solar System, the terrestrial planets are the inner planets closest to the Sun, i.e. Mercury, Venus and Mars; the terms "terrestrial planet" and "telluric planet" are derived from Latin words for Earth, as these planets are, in terms of structure, Earth-like. These planets are located between the asteroid belt. Terrestrial planets have a solid planetary surface, making them different from the larger gaseous planets, which are composed of some combination of hydrogen and water existing in various physical states. All terrestrial planets in the Solar System have the same basic type of structure, such as a central metallic core iron, with a surrounding silicate mantle; the Moon has a much smaller iron core. Io and Europa are satellites that have internal structures similar to that of terrestrial planets. Terrestrial planets can have canyons, mountains and other surface structures, depending on the presence of water and tectonic activity.

Terrestrial planets have secondary atmospheres, generated through volcanism or comet impacts, in contrast to the giant planets, whose atmospheres are primary, captured directly from the original solar nebula. The Solar System has four terrestrial planets: Mercury, Venus and Mars. Only one terrestrial planet, Earth, is known to have an active hydrosphere. During the formation of the Solar System, there were many more terrestrial planetesimals, but most merged with or were ejected by the four terrestrial planets. Dwarf planets, such as Ceres and Eris, small Solar System bodies are similar to terrestrial planets in the fact that they do have a solid surface, but are, on average, composed of more icy materials; the Earth's Moon has a density of 3.4 g·cm−3 and Jupiter's satellites, Io, 3.528 and Europa, 3.013 g·cm−3. The uncompressed density of a terrestrial planet is the average density its materials would have at zero pressure. A greater uncompressed density indicates greater metal content. Uncompressed density differs from the true average density because compression within planet cores increases their density.

The uncompressed density of terrestrial planets trends towards lower values as the distance from the Sun increases. The rocky minor planet Vesta orbiting outside of Mars is less dense than Mars still at, 3.4 g·cm−3. Calculations to estimate uncompressed density inherently require a model of the planet's structure. Where there have been landers or multiple orbiting spacecraft, these models are constrained by seismological data and moment of inertia data derived from the spacecraft orbits. Where such data is not available, uncertainties are higher, it is unknown. Most of the planets discovered outside the Solar System are giant planets, because they are more detectable, but since 2005, hundreds of terrestrial extrasolar planets have been found, with several being confirmed as terrestrial. Most of these are i.e. planets with masses between Earth's and Neptune's. During the early 1990s, the first extrasolar planets were discovered orbiting the pulsar PSR B1257+12, with masses of 0.02, 4.3, 3.9 times that of Earth's, by pulsar timing.

When 51 Pegasi b, the first planet found around a star still undergoing fusion, was discovered, many astronomers assumed it to be a gigantic terrestrial, because it was assumed no gas giant could exist as close to its star as 51 Pegasi b did. It was found to be a gas giant. In 2005, the first planets orbiting a main-sequence star and which show signs of being terrestrial planets, were found: Gliese 876 d and OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb. Gliese 876 d orbits the red dwarf Gliese 876, 15 light years from Earth, has a mass seven to nine times that of Earth and an orbital period of just two Earth days. OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb has about 5.5 times the mass of Earth, orbits a star about 21,000 light years away in the constellation Scorpius. From 2007 to 2010, three potential terrestrial planets were found orbiting within the Gliese 581 planetary system; the smallest, Gliese 581e, is only about 1.9 Earth masses, but orbits close to the star. An ideal terrestrial planet would be two Earth masses, with a 25-day orbital period around a red dwarf.

Two others, Gliese 581c and Gliese 581d, as well as a disputed planet, Gliese 581g, are more-massive super-Earths orbiting in or close to the habitable zone of the star, so they could be habitable, with Earth-like temperatures. Another terrestrial planet, HD 85512 b, was discovered in 2011; the radius and composition of all these planets are unknown. The first confirmed terrestrial exoplanet, Kepler-10b, was found in 2011 by the Kepler Mission designed to discover Earth-size planets around other stars using the transit method. In the same year, the Kepler Space Observatory Mission team released a list of 1235 extrasolar planet candidates, including six that are "Earth-size" or "super-Earth-size" and in the habitable zone of their star. Since Kepler has discovered hundreds of planets ranging
