Because you cannot condense O by
|
|
|
itself (but only in compounds also
|
|
|
containing Si, Mg, Fe), you don’t
|
|
|
have much material available for
|
|
|
making terrestrial planets. You are
|
|
|
limited by the low abundance of Si,
|
|
|
Mg, Fe: Terrestrial
planets are
|
|
|
relatively small

Once solid H2O becomes available
|
|
|
you have lots more material
|
|

Starting at Jupiter you can make a
|
|
|
big enough core from solid H2O that
|
|
|
you can gravitationally hold onto the
|
|
H and He gas
