Question 2

Why are the inner planets made of denser materials than the outer planets?

  B) Denser materials were heavier and sank to the center of the nebula.
  C) In the inner part of the nebula only metals and rocks were able to condense because of the high temperatures, whereas hydrogen compounds, although more abundant, were only able to condense in the cooler outer regions.
