From uppermost (1) to lowermost (7). Major planes are known as "layers".

Layer 1: The Aether, a plane of mostly air, dotted by small pockets of eternally suspended land.
Layer 2: The Boundless Sea, a plane of deep, endless ocean filled with islands and seafaring cultures.
Layer 3: The Woodlands, an endless, vibrant plane filled with magical plant life, animals, and mysterious fey beings.
Layer 4: The Mortal Plane, the plane most similar to our world.
Layer 5: The Crags, a rocky, uncomfortably warm landscape filled with rivers of magma.
Layer 6: The Staircase, a fractal-like plane filled with constructs, scholars, and difficult-to-imagine creatures and landscapes.
Layer 7: The Void, a series of unending spirals into unending dark, filled with creatures who prefer to avoid the light.

Demiplanes can be found between these, and most gods do not call a single major plane home.
