Why are there two different types of planets in the solar system?
kramer

The correct answer is D. The heat from the sun allowed only rocky planets to form in the inner part of the solar system.

Explanation

The inner solar system is the name of the region that includes the inner planets that are characterized by being terrestrial in type, have dense and rocky compositions, few or no moons, and there are no ring systems. Another of its characteristics is that Venus, Earth, and Mars have enough atmosphere to generate climate. On the other hand, the region of the outer planets includes the four most distant planets from the sun, located beyond the asteroid belt, that is, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune that are characterized by rotating at high speed, have gaseous surfaces, and rings around them (the most notable example is Saturn).

An asteroid is in circular orbit around the Sun. Its distance from the Sun is 7.3 times the average distance of Earth from the S
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

An asteroid is in circular orbit around the Sun. Its distance from the Sun is 7.3 times the average distance of Earth from the Sun. The period of this asteroid is  C : 20 Earth years .

Explanation:

Kepler's law

T² ∝ R³

T = orbital period of the planet

R = semi major axis of the orbit.

Now

( T₁ / T₂ )² =  ( R₁ / R₂ )³

T₁ =  Earth time period = 1 year

T₂ = Asteroid time period

R₁ =  The distance between Earth and Sun

R₂ = The distance between Asteroid and Sun

From the question ,

R₂ = 7.3 R₁

applying on the above equation ,

( T₁ / T₂ )² =  ( R₁ / R₂ )³

( 1 / T₂ )² = ( R₁ / 7.3 R₁ )³

( 1 / T₂ )² = ( 1 / 7.3 )³

T₂ = 19.7 year

Hence ,

approximately T₂ = 20 years.

The period of this asteroid is  C : 20 Earth years .
