Answer to Question 1

Asteroids, comets, and meteorites are the most primitive objects in the solar system and observations of them can tell us about the conditions of the solar nebula as planets began to form. Planets are so massive that they have undergone additional processes such as differentiation and geology that prevents us from measuring exactly when and from what they formed.

E
