It's better if you use four:
Terrestrial (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres)
Gas Giant (Jupiter, Saturn)
Ice Giant (Uranus, Neptune)
Ice Dwarfs (Pluto, Makemake, Haumea, and Eris)
The differences are composition.
Terrestrial is made of rock and usually has a high iron composition usually sinking to the core.
Gas giants are made mostly of hydrogen and helium.
Ice giant is made of hydrogen, helium, plus volatile ices like methane and ammonia.
Ice Dwarfs are small planets made of materials that would melt if brought too close to the sun. Usually the mantle is ices and the core itself is rocky like a terrestrial planet.

Why are there two main types of planets?
Planets are classified into rocky planets (inner planets) and gas giants (outer planets) based on their composition and characteristics. Rocky planets have solid surfaces and are made primarily of rock and metal, while gas giants are mostly composed of hydrogen and helium with thick atmospheres. These distinctions result from differences in how planets formed and the conditions in their respective regions of the solar system.
