Q.1. What are the conditions that led to the distinction between terrestrial and Jovian planets in our solar system ?
1. The terrestrial planets were formed in the close vicinity of the parent star where it was too warm for gases to condense to solid particles while Jovian planets were formed at quite a distant location.
2. The solar wind was most intense nearer the sun; so, it blew off lots of gas and dust from the terrestrial planets and the solar winds were not all that intense to cause similar removal of gases from the Jovian planets.
3. The terrestrial planets are smaller and their higher gravity could not hold the escaping gases.
