What are the different types of runways for planes?

There are several types of runways for planes, primarily categorized by their surface material and usage. The main types include asphalt, concrete, and grass runways, with asphalt and concrete being the most common for commercial airports due to their durability and ability to support heavy aircraft. Additionally, runways can be classified as paved or unpaved, with paved runways providing a smoother surface for takeoffs and landings. Furthermore, runways may also vary by their orientation and length, tailored to accommodate different aircraft and environmental conditions.
