1) gas giants/outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus Neptune; outside of the asteroid belt

2) Terrestrial planets/inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars; inside the asteroid belt
Terrestrial planets are like Earth, Mars, or Venus--they are smaller rocky masses that may also have a thin atmosphere.

Gas planets are like Jupiter, Saturn, or Uranus--they are larger masses that are composed primarily if not exclusively of matter in gas or liquid form.

What is another way you might divide the planets into two groups other than the inner planets and the outter planets?

One way to divide the planets could be by classifying them as terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) and gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). Terrestrial planets are small, rocky, and have solid surfaces, while gas giants are much larger, composed mainly of gases and liquids, and lack a solid surface.

Yes, the densities of the solar system planets can generally be grouped into two categories: terrestrial planets (such as Earth, Venus, Mars, and Mercury) with higher densities due to their rocky compositions, and the gas giant planets (such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) with lower densities due to their gaseous compositions.
