Today, the leading hypothesis for the existence of hot Jupiters is that they formed in their outer solar systems and then migrated inward. Why did this hypothesis gain favor over alternative ideas?
What will be an ideal response?
Computer models show that interactions between young planets and material in the surrounding disk can cause planetary migration.
