Question 2
According to our present theory of solar system formation, which of the following statements about the growth of terrestrial and jovian planets is not true?
A) Both types of planet begun with planetesimals growing through the process of accretion, but only the jovian planets were able to capture hydrogen and helium gas from the solar nebula.
B) Swirling disks of gas, like the solar nebula in miniature, formed around the growing jovian planets but not around the growing terrestrial planets.
C) The jovian planets began from planetesimals made only of ice, while the terrestrial planets began from planetesimals made only of rock and metal.
D) The terrestrial planets formed inside the frost line of the solar nebula and the jovian planets formed beyond it.
