How did the distance from the sun affect the size and composition of the planets?

The inner solar system was too close to the sun for gases to condense, resulting in rocky planets. The outer solar system was cold enough for gases and ices to form, leading to the creation of Jovian planets. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Terrestrial and Jovian Planets

Terrestrial planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars; they are characterized by rocky compositions.
Jovian planets are composed mainly of gas and consist of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Solar System Order

The order of the planets from closest to the sun to the furthest is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

Characteristics of Planets

Jovian planets are not rocky but are predominantly gas, distinguishing them from terrestrial planets.
Terrestrial planets are solid and rocky in nature, contrasting with the gaseous composition of Jovian planets.

Nebula

A nebula is defined as a cloud of dust and gas in space, serving as a nursery for new stars and planetary systems.

Influence of Sun on Planet Formation

Proximity to the sun in the inner solar system resulted in high temperatures, allowing only metals and silicate minerals to solidify, leading to the formation of rocky terrestrial planets.
In the colder outer solar system, gases and ices could condense, enabling the formation of gas giants or Jovian planets.
