The 8 planets of the Solar System can be roughly divided into two groups. First four terrestrial planets, small, a rocky surface; then the four gas giants, much larger, no surface you can stand on.
Similarities include that they revolve around the Sun, and that they don't emit their own light, but reflect light from the Sun.
