I think you may be referring to the terms "terrestrial planet" and "Jovian planet". Here is the difference between the two:
Terrestrial planets, also known as rocky planets, are small and dense planets that are similar in composition to Earth. These planets have solid surfaces and are primarily composed of rock and metal. The four inner planets of our solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are all terrestrial planets.
Jovian planets, also known as gas giants, are large and low-density planets that are composed primarily of gas and ice. These planets have no solid surfaces and are primarily made up of hydrogen, helium, and other gases. The four outer planets of our solar system, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are all Jovian planets.
The main differences between terrestrial and Jovian planets are their size, composition, and location in the solar system. Terrestrial planets are smaller, denser, and closer to the sun, while Jovian planets are larger, less dense, and farther from the sun. Additionally, Jovian planets have more extensive planetary ring systems and more numerous and larger moons than terrestrial planets.
