Solar System the early Solar System, but they either merged or were destroyed, leaving the planets, dwarf planets, and leftover minor bodies. Due to their higher boiling points, only metals and silicates could exist in solid form in the warm inner Solar System close to the Sun, and these would eventually form the rocky planets of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Because metallic elements only comprised a very small fraction of the solar nebula, the terrestrial planets could not grow very large. The giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) formed further out, beyond the frost line, the point between the orbits
Solar eclipses on the Moon Earth rotates nearly 24 hours, but its position at the sky is only in one position as it never changes as it does with some other moons (or satellites) in other planets or dwarf planets and a few asteroids even inside the solar system but are very rare in the outer part of the solar system. The last solar eclipse on the Moon was a total eclipse on July 27, 2018, with the whole Nearside and the tiny surroundings of the Farside seeing totality. Unlike the Earth which sees its eclipse for up to 2 1/2 hours the longest in
