When it comes to the formation of our Solar System, the most widely accepted view is known as theNebular Hypothesis. In essence, this theory states that the Sun, the planets, and all other objects in the Solar System formed from nebulous material billions of years ago. Originally proposed to...
at the outset the solar nebula had a mass greater than that of our present-day Sun. Because each part of the nebula exerted a gravitational attraction on the other parts, matter at the perimeter was pulled toward the center. whereas matter in ...

Knowledge of how Earth and the inner planets were formed is needed to understand how the oceans may have formed. A.Our solar system originated from a cloud of dust that collapsed into a rotating disk of particles, which clumped together into planet embryos that orbited the Sun. ...
on grains of dust formed around the star. These grains have enough momentum to punch through one side of the shell, where they are mostly destroyed—trapping the aluminum inside the shell," Dwarkadas said. Eventually, part of theshellcollapses inward due to gravity, forming our solar system. ...
How Is a Planetary System Formed?An important prerequisite for the existence of life is that planets exist on which life can develop and thrive. Until recently, our own solar system was the only one we knew about. It is still, by......
When measured from its base, deep in the ocean, Mauna Loa is the second largest mountain in our solar system, after the one on Mars. Kim Binsted says this experiment looks at how the volunteers interact, or get along with each other. “We study how well they work together, how we ...
(太阳星云) collapsed and formed our sun and the planets.By visiting these near Earth objects to study the material that came from the solar nebula,we can look for answers to some of humankind's most arresting questions,such as:How did the solar system form and where di...
