The table contains key characteristics that can help us identify the types of planets described.

1. Planet Composition:
- Planet A has a rocky mantle and iron core.
- Planet B is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium.

2. Distance from the Sun:
- Planet A is 1.52 AU away from the Sun.
- Planet B is 19.22 AU away from the Sun.

3. Atmosphere Composition:
- Planet A has an atmosphere made up of 96% carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen, and 1% other gases.
- Planet B's atmosphere is mostly made up of hydrogen and helium.

4. Number of Moons and Rings:
- Planet A has 2 moons and no rings.
- Planet B has 27 moons and faint rings.

Based on these characteristics:

1. Planet A:
- Rocky mantle and iron core, located relatively close to the Sun, and having a thin atmosphere with mostly carbon dioxide suggests it is a terrestrial planet.

2. Planet B:
- Composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, located far from the Sun, having many moons and faint rings suggests it is a gas giant.

Therefore, we complete the sentences as follows:

Planet A is a terrestrial planet. Planet B is a gas giant planet. Planet A is closer to the Sun than Planet B. Planet B is farther from the Sun than Planet A.
