What are the two planets that are blue giants?
Blue Giants refers to super heavy blue stars such as Bellatrix.Planets are divided into 3 main types :-Gas Giants such as Jupiter and Saturn. Ice Giantssuch as Neptune and Uranus. Terestrial planets such as Earth, Mars, Venus and Mercury.I believe what u refer to is Ice giants. Both Neptune and Uranus have a blue green appearance
Which two planets have ice covering both of their poles?
There are nine planets in the Solar System. Two of them have ice covering both of the poles, call Polar Ice Caps. These two planets are Earth and Mars.
The inner planets are also known as?
Older texts will refer to the four outer gas giant planets as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.However, later texts will refer to Jupiter and Saturn as the gas giants and Uranus and Neptune as the ice giants.

What are the two major groups that planets are divided?
Inner rocky planets and outer gas giant planets. (There are also Ice giants and dwarf planets)
What four planets are know as the gas giants?

What are some planets made of which other planets arent?
The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, also called the terrestrial planets, are primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets, the gas giants, are substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiter and Saturn, are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are composed largely of ices, such as water, ammonia and methane, and are often referred to separately as "ice giants".

What are two categories of planets?
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 is jupiter called a gas giant?
Uranus is not considered a gas giant, it is an ICE giant. The two gas giant planets are Jupiter and Saturn and the two ice giant planets are Uranus and Neptune.
