Why are the inner planets rocky and the outer planets made of gas?

• The inner planets are rocky because there are more heavy metals in the solar system than gasses.

• The inner planets are closer because they are made of heavier materials while the outer gas planets would not exist closer the sun.

• The inner planets are closer because they are made of gasses while the outer planets are made of heavier materials.

• None of the above.
