What happened in the formation of the solar system that caused the inner and outer planets to be so different?

Answer 1

It depends on whether you believe that the solar system formed itself or an incredibly intelligent and powerful being designed and orchestrated it. Myself, I see incredible design in our solar system which tells MY brain that there must be a designer! This then tells me that the other planets are there for a reason since intelligence only does intelligent things. This then brings me to the conclusion that earth is the principle reason for the solar system to exist and the other planets are there to balance out the suns gravity. Have you ever thought to yourself that the gas giants are gas giants because once a planet reaches a certain size, it can no longer be a rocky planet because of the tremendous gravity? All of the small planets are rocky ones and the larger ones are gas giants--this is no mistake! Have you noticed too that out of all the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, that none of them are just made of gas? Even the experts in the field of astronomy say that it doesn't make sense that these gas giants exist from current explanations of the origin of our solar system--they say that there wouldn't be enough material way out there! You will not find a good enough explanation on why the outer planets are so different to the inner ones from even the experts because they honestly don't know! My explanation is that they are different because they were made that way for a reason and I believe that they are huge because they need to be huge and at that distance from the sun so that they don't make it "wobble" too much like other stars scientists have found in our galaxy with gas giants orbiting closer to their stars than Mercury is.
