1. The Jovian Planets

2. These Planets were capable nebular capture Systems of moon formed in disks Colder environment needed for nebular capture due to greater distance from the Sun Temperatures remained cool enough and gravity was strong enough to retain Hydrogen and Helium Differences in planets can be related to distance from the Sun Ring system due to stronger tidal forces
