How does the solar nebula theory explain the dramatic density difference between the terrestrial and jovian planets?
The solar nebula theory explains that planets are formed by solid bits of matter. What that matter is entirely dependent on the gas and substances available. The terrestrial planets in our solar system were located in the inner part of the solar nebula. This means that the temperatures were too high for the gas to condense into solids, leaving metals and silicates as the only solids from which the small and dense terrestrial planets could form. Meanwhile, the temperatures in the outer solar nebula were cold enough for the gases to form solid ice. The large Jovian planets then formed from the large amounts of ice particles available and were able to capture gas directly from the solar nebula because of how large they were.

How many planets in the solar system are terrestrial planets?
1...Earth
How do you use the word solar nebula in a sentence?
A solar nebula is a rotating cloud of gas and dust from which the sun and planets formed. I hope this helps :))
How do the motions of the sun and planets reflect the disk shape of the solar nebula?
The motions of the Sun and the planets reflect to disk shape of the solar nebula because they follow the same rotation as this disk shape. The rotation of the Sun and the planets is not a perfect circle.
Are the terrestrial planets and the gas giant planets formed from the same material?
Yes and no. It was the same material initially when the solar nebula first condensed, however then the sun ignited and cooked the volatiles (e.g. gases, water) out of the material nearby and the solar wind carried those volatiles outward. The material further out retained the original volatiles. The volatile depleted material then formed the four terrestrial planets and the undepleted material then formed the four gas giant planets.

What did the solar nebula make?
Planets.
What are the conditions that lead to the formation of the terrestrial planets and those of the gas gaints?
Ices condensed only in the outer solar system, where some icy planetesimals grew large enough to attract gas from the nebula, while only metal and rock condensed in the inner solar system, making terrestrial planets.
Are the terrestrial planets part of the solar system?
Yes: the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are part of our own solar system.
How many planets in the solar system are terrestrial planets?

A model for the solar system in which the sun and planets condensed from a cloud (or nebula) of gas and dust?

What terrestrial planets are there?
The terrestrial planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. There are many more terrestrial planets orbiting stars other than the sun.
How many planets are terrestrial and how many are gaseous in the solar system?
There are four terrestrial planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. There are also four gaseous planets in our solar system: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
What planet has the highest surface gravity of the terrestrial planets?
Of the terrestrial planets, Earth has. Of allthe planetsin our solar system, Jupiter has.

Are Terrestrial planets made of gas?
No it's a rocky planet similar to that of Earth. The first four planets our solar system are terrestrial.
The extra matter at the center of the solar nebula became the?
Inner planets
