There are four different types of classifications depending on the planet itself.
Terrestrials
Planets with bodies largely composed of rock: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
Gas Giants
Planets largely composed of gaseous material and significantly more massive and has a greater gravitational pull: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Ice Giants
This is a sub-class of Gas Giants but are distinguished by their significantly lower mass and by a depletion of hydrogen and helium in their atmospheres together with a significantly higher proportion of rock and ice: Uranus and Neptune.
Dwarf Planets
A recent change in classification of August 2006, they are not dominant in their orbits: Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake and Eris.
