What the theory explains are three facts – first fact is that all the terrestrial planets, which are those within the orbit of the Asteroid Belt, are rocky, while those outside it are gaseous. Second fact is that they all orbit within 6 degrees of a common plane. And lastly, is that the planets all rotate in the same direction.
