Question

Which statement about the growth of terrestrial and jovian (gas giant) planets is false?

a. Swirling disks of gas, like the solar nebula in miniature, formed around the growing jovian planets but not around the growing terrestrial planets.
b. The jovian planets began from planetesimals made only of ice, while the terrestrial planets began from planetesimals made only of rock and metal.
c. The terrestrial planets formed inside the frost line of the solar nebula and the jovian planets formed beyond it.
d. Both types of planet begun with planetesimals growing through the process of accretion, but only the jovian planets were able to capture hydrogen and helium gas from the solar nebula.

Answer 1

c ) The terrestrial planets formed inside the frost line of the solar nebula and the jovian planets formed beyond it.

Step-by-step explanation:

The option c ) is wrong

The region where the terrestrial planets were formed was hot and they were not within the frost line of the solar nebula . Due to higher temperature , only heavier metals condensed to form planets , lighter gases did not condensed as their boiling point was low.
