5. Other Solar Systems. Suppose we found a solar systemwith the properties described (note that these are not realdiscoveries!). In light of our theory of solar system formation,decide whether the discovery should be considered reasonable orsurprising. Explain your answers.
A. A solar system has four large jovian planets in its innersolar system and seven
small planets made of rock and metal in its outer solarsystem.
B. A solar system has five terrestrial planets in its innersolar system and three jovian
planets in its outer solar system.
C. A solar system has ten planets that all orbit the star inapproximately the same
plane. However, five planets orbit in one direction(counterclockwise) while the
other five orbit in the opposite direction (clockwise).
D. A solar system contains only comets and asteroids, but nolarge planets.
E. A solar system has four Earth-size terrestrial planets. Eachof the four planets has a single moon that is nearly identical insize to Earth’s moon.
