The video explores the terrestrial planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Mercury is small with extreme temperatures and a thin atmosphere. Venus, the hottest planet, has a thick carbon dioxide atmosphere and potential signs of life. Earth supports diverse life with a balanced atmosphere. Mars, known for its red dust, has a thin atmosphere and water in ice form, but no confirmed life.
