contents We consider the problem of classifying the lines of the projective $3$-space $PG(3,q)$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ into orbits of the group $PGL_2(q)$ of linear symmetries of the twisted cubic $C$. The problem has been solved in literature in characteristic different from $3$, and in this work, we solve the problem in characteristic $3$. We reduce this problem to another problem, which is the classification of binary quartic forms into $PGL_2(q)$-orbits. We first solve the latter problem and use to solve the former problem. We also obtain the point-line and the line-plane incidence structures of the point, line, and plane orbits.
