SPOILER!!: Professor

Tessa thought for a moment about the question the Professor had asked as she nibbled on another piece of chocolate. Finally, when she had thought of a logical sounding answer, she raised her hand.

"Professor, could it be because of the planets' closeness to the sun? If the gaseous planets were too close to the sun's heat, the gas may not last long. Or, depending on what makes up the gaseous atmosphere, the planet may not last long." BOOM, essentially. At least, that was her guess. "So, we are left with rockier planets closer to the sun because the gases that used to surround them- if they ever existed, were bruned off by the sun?" she ventured further.
