Question

Where are the Jovian planets located?

1) in the Oort cloud
2) between the Sun and the asteroid belt
3) between the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt
4) between the Kuiper belt and the Oort cloud

Answer 1

The Jovian planets, including Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are located between the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jovian planets are located between the asteroid belt and the Kuiper belt. These planets, which include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are found beyond the asteroid belt, which is the region of the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid belt extends from 2.2 to 3.3 AU from the Sun. The jovian or 'gas giant' planets are significantly larger than the terrestrial planets and all have rings and multiple moons. They orbit the sun at much greater distances than the asteroid belt or the rocky planets closer to the Sun.
