What was the temperature in the solar nebula at the location of the asteroid belt (between Mars and Jupiter-2.8 AU)? 1400 K 1000 K 600 K 300 K 50 K Which planets formed at temperatures lower than the freezing point of water? all of them Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune Uranus and Neptune
