Answer:

Terrestrial planets include: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars (in order from closest to the sun to farthest from the sun)

Jovian planets include: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (in order from closest to the sun to farthest from the sun)

Step-by-step explanation:

Terrestrial planets have solid surfaces (usually rocky) with a dense metallic core, while Jovian planets are gas giants, meaning that they have no solid surface. Jovian Planets have a large gaseous composition and a small, molten rock core.
