Solar nebula sorting task: Listed following are statements that, apply either to the formation or properties of terrestrial planets or of Jovian planets, but not both. Please select all the items apply for terrestrial planets. formed in a region of solar system with higher orbital speeds ejected icy planetesimals that are now Oort cloud comets Accreted from planetesimals of rock and metal formed rings from shuttered moons. accreted from icy planetesimals Similar to the Sun's density Comparatively larger in size formed in warmer regions Relatively high density large moons formed in surrounding disks of material formed in a region of solar system with lower orbital speeds comparatively smaller in size surfaces dramatically altered during the heavy bombardment

Planets near the Sun are composed mainly of rock and iron. How does the Solar Nebula theory account for this? Select one: a. The planets that today are near the Sun were captured. b. The forming Sun's heat prevented substances such as ices from condensing in the inner Solar System. c. The Sun's magnetic field attracted all of the iron in the nebula into the inner Solar System. d. As the planets were captured, denser ones were pulled closer to the Sun by gravity. e. The planets that today are far from the Sun were captured.

Professor Webb has discovered a new planetary system around a Sun-like star! Which of the following observations of Professor Webb's planetary system can be explained with the Nebular Theory? Check ALL that apply: 1. There is a Saturn-sized planet located 0.5 AU away from the Sun-like star. 2. There is a Mercury-sized planet located inside the planetary system's frost line. 3. The Jovian planets have moons orbiting in prograde orbits. 4. All the planets in the system orbit in the same direction. 5. All the planets orbit in the same plane.
