Which statement best explains why Earth and the other planets of our solar system became layered as they were being formed?
A
Materials that cooled slowly stayed at the surface of each planet.
B
Materials that cooled quickly stayed at the surface of each planet.
C
Gravity caused more-dense material to move toward the center of each planet.
D
Gravity caused less-dense material to move toward the center of each planet.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most notably, Earth is unique in that most of our planet is covered in liquid water, since the temperature allows liquid water to exist for extended periods of time. Earth’s vast oceans provided a convenient place for life to begin about 3.8 billion years ago.

Detailed explanation-2: -The gravity of the Sun keeps the planets in their orbits. They stay in their orbits because there is no other force in the Solar System which can stop them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Our solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The cloud collapsed, possibly due to the shockwave of a nearby exploding star, called a supernova. When this dust cloud collapsed, it formed a solar nebula – a spinning, swirling disk of material.
