Inner planets (inside the main asteroid belt) are "terrestrial", with a solid rocky outer crust above a rocky "mantle".

The outer planets (beyond the asteroid belt) have no crust. Like the Sun, they are composed almost entirely of gas. The reason the gas planets became planets instead of stars was because of their small size.
