To complete the graphic organizer:

• For the "Both" column (second row), both inner and outer planets orbit the Sun, so we place "Orbits the Sun" here.
• For the "Inner Planets" column (fourth row), inner planets (terrestrial) have solid/metallic surfaces, so we place "Metallic surfaces" here.
• For the "Outer Planets" column (fourth row), outer planets (Jovian) have gassy surfaces, so we place "Gassy surfaces" here.

• "Both" (second row): Orbits the Sun
• "Inner Planets" (fourth row): Metallic surfaces
• "Outer Planets" (fourth row): Gassy surfaces
