One group is called the inner or outer planets, and the other group is called the terrestrial or gas giant planets.
One group is called the inner or outer planets, and the other group is called the terrestrial or gas giant planets.

One group is called the inner or Jovian planets, and the other group is called the outer or gas giant planets.
One group is called the inner or Jovian planets, and the other group is called the outer or gas giant planets.

One group is called the inner or terrestrial planets, and the other group is called the outer or giant gas planets.

Answer 1

The correct classification of the planets in the solar system is as follows:

1. Inner planets (or terrestrial planets) - These include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are rocky and have solid surfaces.

2. Outer planets (or gas giants and ice giants) - This group includes Jupiter and Saturn (gas giants) as well as Uranus and Neptune (ice giants).

Therefore, the accurate grouping is: One group is called the inner or terrestrial planets, and the other group is called the outer or giant gas planets.
