|
The planets closest to the Sun had greater concentrations of space debris and dust in their orbits, which is why they formed into rocky planets.
|
|
|
The planets closest to the Sun had their gases blown off by stellar winds, leaving only their rocks and metals behind. The gas blown further out into the Solar System condensed to make the gassy planets.

|
The planets furthest from the Sun had their gases blown off by stellar winds, leaving only their rocks and metals behind. The planets that are closest to our Sun remained gaseous.

The planets furthest from the Sun had greater concentrations of space debris and dust in their orbits, which is why they formed into rocky planets.

Detailed explanation-1: -The planets that are closest to our Sun remained gaseous. The planets furthest from the Sun had greater concentrations of space debris and dust in their orbits, which is why they formed into rocky planets .
Detailed explanation-2: -The planets nearest to the star tend to be rockier because the star’s wind blows away their gases and because they are made of heavier materials attracted by the star’s gravity.
Detailed explanation-3: -The planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are called terrestrial because they have a compact, rocky surface like Earth’s terra firma. The terrestrial planets are the four innermost planets in the solar system.
Detailed explanation-4: -Flexi Says: The rocky planets are closer to the sun than the gas planets because the temperature near the sun is perfect for condensing rocks and metals while the gas planets can form away from the sun where the temperature is low enough for condensation of gases.
Detailed explanation-5: -However, while our Sun was still a cloud of gas, the outer planets with large solid cores and, therefore, strong gravitational pull attracted hydrogen and helium from the nebula before the sun actually formed. Thereby, the large amounts of gas they attracted now counts for most of the surface of their planets.
