The belt of constellations through which all the planets move is called zodiac. The true shape of the planetary orbits was discovered by Kepler.
The Zodiac
The ecliptic
The first four planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are the inner planets, because they are rocky and on the inside of the asteroid belt, and the next four planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are the outer planets because they are light and composed of gas, and are on the outside of the asteroid belt.
Of course. Planets with a gaseous surface are called Jovian planets or Outer planets because they are beyond the asteroid belt.
Because it is between the earth and the sun The planets which are inside the asteroid belt are called inner planets
Because the four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are the four planets closest to the sun. These smaller planets are all inside the asteroid belt. The larger planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are outside the asteroid belt and thus called the outer planets.
The ecliptic
Because they are in the asteroid belt. The planets that are outside of the asteroid belt are called the outer planets.
The inner planets are the first 4 planets from the sun, they are made of rock. After the in er planets is an asteroid belt. Behind the belt are the 4 outter planets. They are made of gas and are called "gas giants". These are called outter planets.
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are often called terrestrial planets.

Of course. Planets with a gaseous surface are called Jovian planets or Outer planets because they are beyond the asteroid belt.
There are only four major planets with orbits beyond the asteroid belt, they are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Technically speaking, the asteroid belt doesn't "run through" any planets but between two planets. As such, the asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
The four planets closest to the sun are called the inner planets. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The asteroid belt lies between the inner and outer planets.
