Why is our Jupiter not a "hot Jupiter"?
What will be an ideal response?
In our solar system, it is likely that the nebular gas cleared out before it could have much of a migratory effect on the planet. However, in other systems, planets may have formed earlier or the nebular gas may have cleared out later. Migration may occur also as long as small planetesimals are abundant. It must have occurred somewhat in our own solar system, though not enough to make Jupiter "hot". Ejection of comets into the Oort cloud would mean that Jupiter must have migrated inward a bit in our own system, due to conservation of energy.
