Answer:

Terrestrial (rocky) planets

Explanation:

These planets would be classified as rocky planets because of their small diameter, relatively high density, and low-density atmospheres. The profile of such a planet is, in fact, very similar to that of Mars, which has a radius of just under 4000 km, an atmosphere thinner than that of Earth and a density also less than that of Earth.

Gas giant planets have much lower densities and much larger dimensions than the terrestrial planets as more gravity is needed to retain their massive, gaseous atmospheres.
