there are inner planets and outer planets. the inner planets are the first four planets that are closer to the sun. they are made of rock. the remaining four (not including pluto, because it is a dwarf planet, not a real planet according to scientists- which i dont thinki is correct i htink it should be a normal planet- but who's asking for my opinion anyway?!) are further away from the sun and are made of gas and bits of rock, insteaf of being solid rock. these are the outer planets

EDIT: Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet because it is a keiper belt object. It is essentially an asteroid in the very outer reaches of the solar system. Its orbit is eccentric and it does not follow the same gravitaitonal behaviours as a planet. It would simply be termed a keiper belt object like the 1000s of other bodies in the keiper belt but due to its large size (in comparison to the other objects) and classical description as a planet it was reclassified as a dwarf planet.
