Explanation:
According to Newton law of gravity, the strength of gravitational pull between two objects is related to their masses, directly, and inversely by the distance between them;
F = G * (M₂ – M₁) / d where;
F – the force of gravity
G – gravitational constant
M₂ – the mass of one object
M₁ – the mass of the other object
d – the distance between the two objects
The rocky planets have a higher mass than the gas planets hence will be strongly ‘feel’ the gravitational pull of the star in the solar system revolves about. This is why rocky planets are closer to their star while gas planets are towards the outer edges.
