Why do you think the terrestrial planets formed closer to the sun and the jovian planets formed farther away from the sun?

1. Why do you think the terrestrial planets formed closer to the sun and the jovian planets formed farther away from the sun? Answer here and come back to respond to at least 2 classmates. Remember your netiquette and discussion board rules!

Because those planets can take the suns heat better then the other planets

I believe terrestrial planets are closer to the sun because when our solar system was forming the closer the planet was to the sun the more dense objects to create a rocky planet.

[elema...@gmail.com]

I believe that the terrestrial planets formed closer because they are more dense and became that way because the gravity from the sun is stronger 

[keith...@gmail.com]

The stronger gravity helps condense the planets faster.

[justinng...@gmail.com]

the Mass of the planets. the Terrestrial planets have a smaller mass than the Jovian planets.

[lexist...@gmail.com]

I think the terrestrial planets formed near the sun due to the extensive pressure and gravity, condensing the planets' materials and forming tightly packed mantles around liquid magma cores. This might have also caused the terrestrial planets to be considerably smaller than the Jovian planets. 

[micaela3...@gmail.com]

I think Terrestrial planets formed closer to the sun because their bionic makeup requires less gas than the Jovian planets.  The Gaseous planets probably formed further to better maintain their atmosphere.

[kewas...@gmail.com]

that seams most logical but I'm sure its way more complicated than that.

[micaela3...@gmail.com]

i agree with Kat's comment because the suns gravitational pull could've made the closer planets denser.

[kewas...@gmail.com]

Everyone said the same answer but lexis sounds smart.

[lexist...@gmail.com]

Why specifically do you believe this? Is there a certain factor the Sun had in the creation of the planets?

[lexist...@gmail.com]

Is this an effect of how they were formed, or does it affect how they are pulled towards the Sun?

[seama...@gmail.com]

because the  smaller planets have less mass the the other planets

[micaela3...@gmail.com]

I agree with Lexi's reasoning for the terrestrial planets being smaller than the Jovian ones. The closer to the sun a planet is, the more condensed it becomes.

[seama...@gmail.com]

you right

[seama...@gmail.com]

 yeah because the sun burnt them

[ajeng...@gmail.com]

They formed closer to the sun because their mass can with hold the suns heat. 

[blake...@gmail.com]

The heat and energy that pushed the gas further away allowing it to cool. 

[joshbr...@gmail.com]

The smaller planets are closer because since they have a smaller core they need heat to stay active which is why they're closer than the bigger ones.

[justinng...@gmail.com]

I agree with this because gravity had effected the planet sizes

[keith...@gmail.com]

Yes I agree because the gravity is stronger closer to the sun.

[justinng...@gmail.com]

A very detailed explanation, I also agree with this.

[ajeng...@gmail.com]

thats true 

[ajeng...@gmail.com]

That is true

[myps...@gmail.com]

the mass of the lager planets would damage t the sun if they were that close

[keith...@gmail.com]

Yes, that could explain why those planets are closer.

[joshbr...@gmail.com]

That's true.

[blake...@gmail.com]

I don't think the planets were artificially made.

bi·on·ic

bīˈänik/

adjective

1. having artificial body parts, especially electromechanical ones.

   • informal

     having ordinary human powers increased by the aid of bionic devices (real or fictional).

     "working out in gymnasiums to become bionic men"
   • relating to bionics.

[joshbr...@gmail.com]

That's a great statement.

[myps...@gmail.com]

what would cause those planets to take the heat better

[blake...@gmail.com]

The stronger the gravity would pull matter into the sun and just burn. 

[myps...@gmail.com]

that makes really good sense

[calr...@gmail.com]

Terrestrial plants form from rocks which is more likely to occur closer to the sun due to debris causing the formation of planets.  Jovian planets are known as gas giants because of their size and how they are made up of gas.  The planets seem to be larger the farther they are away from the sun which could be a result for them getting their gas giant names.  

[azkha...@gmail.com]

The Suns gravitational force is strong, thus pulling in the smaller Planets as oppose to the larger Planets.

[noahrs...@gmail.com]

The sun's gravity pulled and compressed the inner planets more than the jovian planets

[noahrs...@gmail.com]

That makes good sense

[noahrs...@gmail.com]

That makes sense because the sun has a lot of gravity

[knab...@gmail.com]

Terrestrial planets formed closer to sun because the gravity was stronger and the temperature was higher, that made it easier for the rocky/metal planets to form. Jovian planets were created farther away from the Sun where it was easier for the rocks/ice formed planets to condense and hold abundant amounts of hydrogen and helium gas.

[knab...@gmail.com]

I agree, Especially with the large amount of gravity

[ashleym...@gmail.com]

The terrestrial planets can handle heat better than the jovian planets. Also the terrestrial planets are more dense and are formed more rocky than the jovian planets because of it being closer to the sun.

[knab...@gmail.com]

This is a very well put together explanation, that would explain why the terrestrial planets were smallest than the Jovian planets. 

[ashleym...@gmail.com]

I agree with this because when it all began the sun erupted destroying pieces of the terrestrial planets so thats why they're rocky now. The jovian planets aren't rocky and still have their gases in them because since they're farther they didn't get any destruction done by the sun and other planets on them. 

[ashleym...@gmail.com]

I agree with this. Smaller planets are closer to the sun because they need the heat from the sun and the bigger ones are farther because they need more space and gravity. 

[hannah...@gmail.com]

I believe the terrestrial planets formed closer to the sun because of the extremely high pressure and gravity being put upon them. The Jovian planets formed far enough away from the Sun that the temperature was cool enough for these gases to condense, and form these huge & less dense planets.

[darrel...@gmail.com]

because the jovian planets couldnt form that close to the sun but they can really far away from the sun and since the terrestrial planets are not really made up of gas they formed close to the sun

[darrel...@gmail.com]

i agree

[darrel...@gmail.com]

excellent that is exactly what i said
