Solution

The best classification of the planets in our solar system based on their physical characteristics is "gas giants and terrestrial planets". This classification divides the planets into two groups: the four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) which are terrestrial or rocky, and the four outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) which are gas giants.
