Layla is researching one of the outer planets. So far, she knows only that it is either a gas giant or an ice giant. Which two statements best describe how Layla’s planet was formed?
A)Pressure near the Sun pushed the lighter elements far into space, where some of them could condense.
B)The planet accreted a significant amount of rocky material to form a planet larger than Earth.
C)The Sun’s extreme temperatures caused the planet’s gases to condense close to the Sun.
D)The planet experienced nuclear fusion within its core, surpassing temperatures found even on the Sun.
E)The planet developed a larger diameter than any of the four terrestrial planets located near the Sun.

The two (2) statements which best describe how Layla’s planet was formed are:

A. Pressure near the Sun pushed the lighter elements far into space, where some of them could condense.

E. The planet developed a larger diameter than any of the four terrestrial planets located near the Sun.

A planet can be defined as a large astronomical (celestial) body with sufficient mass to allow for self-gravity and make it assume a nearly circular shape, which is referred to as hydrostatic equilibrium.

Based on Astronomy, the planets within the solar system are broadly classified into two (2) main categories and these are;

  • Inner planets
  • Outer planets

Outer planets are mainly located beyond the asteroid belt and they either an ice giant or a gas giant such as; Uranus, Neptune, Jupiter, and Saturn. Also, the pressure near the Sun (solar wind) push the lighter elements (gases) such as helium and hydrogen far into space, where some of them could condense.

Furthermore, the diameter of the outer planets are much larger than those of the four (4) terrestrial planets that are located near the Sun.
