Why were objects that formed farther out in space smaller than the planets?

Objects that formed farther out than space are smaller than the planets because there is less matter available to form them further out from the sun. Less matter results in smaller objects, including asteroids and dwarf planets.

∙ 12y agoThere was not as much matter so there were aslo less collisions.
Lol I have the same page to do.

Why are larger planets farther from the sun?
they are not. smaller planet can be farther..Initially the sun was surrounded by a disk of gas, it was probably denser towards the middle. The planets formed from this gas. A small fraction of the gas could condense to form rock and metal, which then sank to the centre of the gas planets. The inner planets have had their gas blown away by the solar wind, leaving only the rocky core, perhaps with a thin atmosphere. The Middle planets (Jupiter and Saturn) have kept all their gas and so are much larger. The Outer planets (Uranus, Neptune) formed from part of the original disk that was thinner and so they are somewhat smaller than Jupiter.Beyond Neptune their are only icy remenants, In that region was beyond the main disk that formed the solar system there are only very small (dwarf) planets there.Read more:Why_planets_nearer_to_sun_is_smaller_and_farther_to_sun_is_larger
Is a planet closer to the sun more dense than a planet far from the sun?
no because the closer to the sun the hotter the planet and if the planet gets that hot the more steam there is on the planet so therefore it will be dry ____________________ Yes, as a general rule. Scientists think that the reason that the inner planets are 'rocky' while the outer planets are 'gas giants' is because the solar winds blew gaseous materials farther out, leaving the dense rocky material closer to it. When the planets formed out of the resulting accretion disk, the rocky planets formed nearer the sun, and the huge clouds of gas farther out coalesced into the outer planets.
What type of solar system objects would be formed inside the rock metal condensation line?
Probably not a Jovian planet, but the Terrestrial planets would form.
Who created the planets?
Nobody created the planet. It formed by the gravitational accretion of smaller objects.
How are craters formed on moons or planets?
Craters are formed by impacts from objects from space, such as meteorites.
How are meteorites being form?
Meteorites are formed from large objects or planets colliding creating smaller debris. These debris then begin to travel at high speeds through space.

Why are moons natural satellites to planets?
Satellites are objects placed in orbit by human enterprise. Moons are natural satellites because they orbit planets or other smaller celestial bodies, but are formed in some way out side our control. IE: collisions, captured dwarf planets, or created out of the same Protoplanetary Disk as it's primary.

How did planets in other objects in the solar system form?
If im not wrong the answer is D. Materials in a disk formed large clumps as the sun formed in the center of the disk .

Are the moons as old as the planets that they circle?
In most cases, the moons are about as old as the planets they orbit, perhaps slightly younger. Most objects in the solar system formed when the solar system did.
What are protoplanets?
Protoplanets are very small planets, about the size of a moon. Astronomers believe these celestial objects are formed during the creation of a solar system.
