The eightplanetsthat orbit the sun are (inorderfrom the sun): Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
The inner planets are heavy element planets with mainly an iron core. Earth and Venus have an abundance of gases for an atmosphere although the Venusian would be unbreathable for humans. The outer planets are all "gas giants" with various elements at their center surrounded by enormous layers of gases.
