What is the evidence that the outer planets started to form before the inner planets?
What will be an ideal response?
The outer planets had to form before solar wind and high temperature from the Sun stripped gases from the solar system. Lower temperatures are necessary for dust particles to form by condensation. The center of the solar nebula was the hottest. The first place in the nebular disk where it would have been cool enough for condensation would be near the outside. The region where the inner planets eventually form would still be too hot.
