answer choices:
made of gas, far from the sun
path an object follows around another
rocky, close to the sun
rotating cloud of gas and dust
drag the answer choices to the correct category over here!
terrestrial planets
gas giants
solar nebula
orbit

Explanation:

• Terrestrial Planets: These planets are rocky and are closer to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars). So "Rocky, close to the Sun" matches.
• Gas Giants: These planets are made of gas and are far from the Sun (Jupiter, Saturn, etc.). So "Made of gas, far from the Sun" matches.
• Solar Nebula: A solar nebula is a rotating cloud of gas and dust from which the solar system formed. So "Rotating cloud of gas and dust" matches.
• Orbit: An orbit is defined as the path an object follows around another object. So "Path an object follows around another" matches.

Answer:

• Terrestrial Planets: Rocky, close to the Sun
• Gas Giants: Made of gas, far from the Sun
• Solar Nebula: Rotating cloud of gas and dust
• Orbit: Path an object follows around another
