Why Do the Jovian Planet Interiors Differ

question 88

Multiple Choice

Why do the jovian planet interiors differ?

• B)Accretion took longer further from the Sun, so the more distant planets formed their cores later and captured less gas from the solar nebula than the closer jovian planets.
• C)The more distant planets had longer to form than the closer planets, since the solar nebula lasted longer at greater distances from the Sun.
• D)The more distant planets formed in a cooler region of the solar nebula and therefore contain a greater proportion of ices than the closer jovian planets.
