A) Jupiter's greater mass compresses it more, thus increasing its density. All of these motions, although not felt by us on Earth, are A) Ices were able to condense at the distance of Jupiter and Saturn, but only rock and metal No need to wait for office hours or assignments to be graded to find out where you took a wrong turn. D) Ice is affected by tidal forces to a greater extent than rock. near the North Pole.
