Detailed explanation-1: -Jupiter and Saturn are thought to have formed first and quickly within the first 10 million years of the solar system. In the warmer parts of the disk, closer to the star, rocky planets begin to form. After the icy giants form there’s not a lot of gas left for the terrestrial planets to accrete.
Detailed explanation-2: -“The formation of the planets in the outer solar system started later, but also finished more quickly; the inner planets needed a lot longer, ‘’ Lichtenberg says.
Detailed explanation-3: -Summary: The terrestrial planets formed close to the Sun where temperatures were well suited for rock and metal to condense. The jovian planets formed outside what is called the frost line, where temperatures were low enough for ice condensation.
