The Solar Nebula model introduces the concept of ‘frost line’. Where are asteroids and comets found with respect to this frost line?
How is their location connected to their composition?
How would the solar system be different if the solar nebula had cooled, with a temperature half its actual value? [select all that apply]
options:
There would be more comets.
Life would have been very unlikely to evolve here.
There would be no comets.

- Present theory suggests that giant planets cannot form without condensation of water ice, which becomes vapor at the high temperatures close to a star. So how can we explain the presence of jovian-sized exoplanets closer to their star than Mercury is to our Sun?arrow_forwardExplain why the planet Venus is differentiated, but asteroid Fraknoi, a very boring and small member of the asteroid belt, is not.arrow_forward1) Contrast the difference between Comets and Asteroids – describe the orbit, composition, and how they appear in the sky. 2)Explain how the terrestrial planets and the Jovian planets ended up so different.arrow_forward

Explain how temperature differences led to the formation of two distinct types of planets.arrow_forwardWe believe that chains of comet fragments like Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9’s have collided not only with the jovian planets, but occasionally with their moons. What sort of features would you look for on the outer planet moons to find evidence of such collisions? (As an extra bonus, can you find any images of such features on a moon like Callisto? You can use an online site of planetary images, such as the Planetary Photojournal, at photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov.)arrow_forwardDescribe four differences between the two ice giants, Uranus and Neptune, and the two gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn.

Check the correct two. (Hint: An orbiter might do a flyby of one planet and then go on to orbit a different planet.) 4. Jupiter's mass is how many times larger than the Earth's?
