They are composed largely of refractory minerals, such as the silicates, which form their crusts and mantles, and metals, such as iron and nickel, which form their cores. Three of the four inner planets (Venus, Earth and Mars) have atmospheres substantial enough to generate weather; all have impact craters and tectonic surface features, such as rift valleys and volcanos. The term inner planet should not be confused with inferior planet, which designates those planets that are closer to the Sun than Earth is (i.e. Mercury and Venus). <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:12pt0in3pt;line-height:normal;border-width:initial;border-style:none;padding:0in;"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "TimesNewRoman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language: EN">References <span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"TimesNewRoman";color:#555555;mso-ansi-language:EN">[ <span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "TimesNewRoman";color:black;mso-ansi-language:EN">edit <span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "TimesNewRoman";color:#555555;mso-ansi-language:EN">] <span lang="EN" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Georgia","serif";mso-fareast-font-family: "TimesNewRoman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:black;mso-ansi-language: EN">
