The student is comparing the Inner and Outer Planets. The description "have surface features such as mountains, valleys, and volcanoes" typically applies to the inner planets like Earth and Mars, while "unable to land on because there is no solid surface" describes the gas giants in the outer solar system, like Jupiter and Saturn.
