They are all intrusive igneous rocks
Diorite is similar to granite in that both are coarse-grained igneous rocks composed mainly of feldspar and other minerals like quartz and biotite. However, diorite typically has a higher proportion of plagioclase feldspar compared to granite, which contains more potassium feldspar. Additionally, diorite is often referred to as "the intermediate rock" because it has a composition that falls between basalt and granite. Other rocks that share similarities with diorite include gabbro and tonalite, depending on their mineral content.
Basalt and pumice.
Granite and gabbro both contain large crystals, but gabbro typically has larger crystals due to its slower cooling rate beneath the Earth's surface compared to granite which cools at or near the surface.
A rock containing a moderate amount of biotite, amphibole, and pyroxene could be a diorite. Diorite is an intermediate intrusive igneous rock with a composition between that of granite and gabbro, which typically contains these minerals in varying amounts.
Even in the most generalized classification, more than two igneous rocks have phaneritic textures. In that generalized classification, they are granite, diorite, gabbro, and peridotite.
Similar to granite in composition: rhyolite. Similar to granite in formation: any intrusive igneous rock, such as gabbro or diorite. Somewhat similar in appearance: diorite, granite gneiss, and many others.
Granite, gabbro, and diorite are three that I can think of.
Granite and gabbro are the two biggies, granite being formed underground by felsic magma, and gabbro being formed underground by mafic magma. Diorite and peridotite are two others.

Examples of intrusive rocks include granite, diorite, and gabbro. These rocks form beneath the Earth's surface through the slow cooling and solidification of magma, resulting in coarse-grained textures. Intrusive rocks are typically more resistant to weathering and erosion compared to extrusive rocks.
Porphyrite of any composition, granite, gabbro, diorite. Most intrusive igneous rocks have crystals large enough to see with the naked eye. Another term used to define an igneous rock with large crystals is coarse-grained.
Two igneous rocks formed from slow cooling magma are granite and diorite. Granite has a coarse-grained texture due to the slow cooling process, while diorite is a medium- to coarse-grained rock with a speckled appearance.
Granite and gabbro both contain large crystals, but gabbro typically has larger crystals due to its slower cooling rate beneath the Earth's surface compared to granite which cools at or near the surface.
