- Why do astronomers conclude that asteroids were never part of a full-sized planet?arrow_forwardExplain the role of impacts in planetary evolution, including both giant impacts and more modest ones.arrow_forwardPresent theory suggests that giant planets cannot form without condensation of water ice, which becomes vapor at the high temperatures close to a star. So how can we explain the presence of jovian-sized exoplanets closer to their star than Mercury is to our Sun?arrow_forward
- Which step(s) listed in the previous question can be eliminated in models that form Jovian planets in thousands of years, a time frame that solves the Jovian problem? Order the following steps in the formation of a Terrestrial planet chronologically: gravitational collapse, accretion, outgassing, condensation, and differentiation.arrow_forwardWhy are asteroids and comets important to our understanding of solar system history?arrow_forwardCompare the interior cutaway sketches of the four Jovian planets in their Celestial Profiles. What interior layer(s) is (are) shown in Jupiter and Saturn but not in Uranus and Neptune, and vice versa?arrow_forward
- What evidence indicates that some asteroids once had geologically active surfaces?arrow_forwardWhy is it unlikely that humans will be traveling to Io? (Hint: Review the information about Jupiter’s magnetosphere in The Giant Planets.)arrow_forwardWe believe that chains of comet fragments like Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9’s have collided not only with the jovian planets, but occasionally with their moons. What sort of features would you look for on the outer planet moons to find evidence of such collisions? (As an extra bonus, can you find any images of such features on a moon like Callisto? You can use an online site of planetary images, such as the Planetary Photojournal, at photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov.)arrow_forward
