What are the three categories of planets?
We have no idea which particular three categories you mean. One possibility is "terrestrial planets", "gas giants", "ice giants". There are others. For example, ice dwarfs, gas dwarfs ("dwarf" in this sense means "less than 10x Earth's mass", and is not related to the term "dwarf planet" used to describe e.g. Pluto; Pluto is a dwarf in both senses, but Earth in only one of them). "hot Jupiters", chthonian planets ... Your question is impossible to answer, because there are a lot more than three categories, and which three are meant depends really on what you're trying to distinguish.
