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
Planet Lofoten In Montreal, Canada in 2007 and has since then been shown at several galleries around the world including The Louvre. Planet Lofoten Planet Lofoten is a Land Art Installation of the solar system positioned in the open nature of West Lofoten in Northern Norway. The Planets are made from stone and range in size from Jupiter at several hundred kilograms to Pluto at only a few grams, and ranges within an area of 30 km from Reine at Moskenes Island to Nordland at Værøy Island. The Sun is still in the construction process and will be a 7-meter diameter sphere
