Explanation:

1. First Bin (hotter than boiling point of water): Terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) form in the inner solar system where temperatures are high (hotter than water's boiling point, 100°C).
2. Second Bin (cooler than water's freezing, not colder than N₂ condensation): Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn form in regions cooler than 0°C (water's freezing) but warmer than nitrogen's condensation point (around -196°C).
3. Third Bin (colder than N₂ condensation): Ice giants Uranus and Neptune form in the outermost regions, where temperatures are colder than nitrogen's condensation point.

Answer:

• Planets formed at locations where the temperature in the solar system was hotter than the boiling point of water: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
• Planets formed at locations where the temperature in the solar system was cooler than the freezing point of water, but not cooler than the condensation point of nitrogen: Jupiter, Saturn
• Planets formed at locations where the temperature in the solar system was colder than the condensation point of nitrogen, the primary gas in our atmosphere: Uranus, Neptune
