Question
**Understanding Planetary Formation: An Activity**

**Interactive Fill-in-the-Blanks Exercise**

- **Statement:** 
  "Planetesimals formed outside the [Select] contain much more solid [Select] material than those inside the frost line. This is because condensation depends on [Select]."

**Instructions:**
1. Click on each [Select] dropdown to choose the correct option that completes the statement.
2. Reflect on why planetesimals outside the frost line have more solid material.

**Discussion Points:**
- This activity helps illustrate the concept of the frost line in planetary formation.
- Consider how temperature variations contribute to differences in material composition.

**Additional Resources:**
- Explore the role of temperature and pressure in the condensation of different planetary materials. 

**Diagram Explanation (Not Present):**
- If a diagram were to accompany this exercise, it might show the solar system with the frost line indicated, displaying where different materials condense.

Engage with this interactive tool to deepen your understanding of how planetary bodies evolve based on their position relative to the frost line.
