... Answer: In the nebular theory, jovian planets form beyond the frost line. In our solar system, this was beyond the orbit of Mars, so it is surprising to find a jovian planet orbiting so close to its star. 7) What do astronomers mean by a "selection effect". Explain why the detection of giant planets ...

The IAU members gathered at the 2006 General Assembly toiled to reach a consensus in an effort to define a “planet”. First, it was argued that a celestial body can be defined as a planet if it is in orb ...
