Best Answer

The two types are Terrestrial and Jovian (However there are now three)

  • GAS: Gases make up almost the entire planet. its only terrain would be a tiny ball no bigger than the earth's moon in its center. examples of this would be Jupiter and Saturn.
  • ICE: Ices make up the majority of the planet. Uranus and Neptune.
  • Terrestrial - opposite of gaseous, the planet has a solid surface, and a thin atmosphere where its gases reside. examples of this would be Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars

NOTE: Older texts and teachers still refer to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune as Gas Giants. This has been changed since the Voyager flypast.

Aside from Dwarf Planets, which are a new classification, the two main types of planets are "terrestrial" (inner) planets, and "gas giants" (outer planets).

The smaller "rocky" terrestrial planets have solid surfaces. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

The much larger gas giants are the outer four planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, adn Neptune. Uranus and Neptune are sometimes referred to as "ice giants" because of their slushy lower atmospheres. The gases are actually extremely hot in the deeper parts.
