One of the four rocky planets of the inner solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth or Mars

Real World Example

Imagine you’re trying to pick the right type of shoe for different activities—running, hiking, or casual walking. Just like how you choose shoes based on the terrain and activity, the inner planets of our solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are like the diverse types of shoes each suited to their own conditions and environments. These terrestrial planets are the "rocky shoes" of our solar system, each with a solid surface like a shoe sole that supports a specific atmosphere and conditions, much like how shoes support different activities based on their design and material.
