. What was the result of collisions between the early Earth and other smaller protoplanets?
What was the result of collisions between the early Earth and other, smaller protoplanets?
What planet originated from one of the four protoplanets closest to the sun?
Mars
Which of the following planets originated from one of the four protoplanets closest to the sun?
It was Mercury.
Is a planet different from a star?
Yes it is, and this is because a planet is built up out of the dust that surrounds a star. When a star is formed there is still a disk of gas surrounding it. As this gas cools, it condenses and forms solid grains. These grain particles accrete into large bodies called planetesimals, which then collide and accrete to make protoplanets. These protoplanets evolve into planets like the planets in our own solar system.
What two planets is the asteroid belt in our solar system between?
The Asteroid Belt orbits between Mars and Jupiter, at about 3 AU. There are several objects not properly classified as asteroids orbiting within the belt, mainly the dwarf planet Ceres and the protoplanets Vesta and Pallas.
What are protoplanets?
Protoplanets are very small planets, about the size of a moon. Astronomers believe these celestial objects are formed during the creation of a solar system.
Why is there a planet?
protoplanets.
Why is there an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter?
The asteroid belt formed from the primordial solar nebula as a group of planetesimals. Planetesimals are the smaller precursors of protoplanets. Between Mars and Jupiter, however, gravitational perturbations from Jupiter imbued the protoplanets with too much orbital energy for them to accrete into a planet.
What makes planet planet?
protoplanets.

What is a early planet called?
Protoplanets or planet embryos.

It was Mercury.
When did the first asteroid hit the earth?
There is no way of knowing as in might of fallen in the dinosaur age and it was not recorded
Were any other planets formed in the solar system other than the present eight planets?
Actually, there are 18 known planets in our solar system, as well as two known protoplanets. For a complete list of objects in the solar system, see the related links.
What theory suggests that protoplanets began to form around the protosun from many collisions and combinations of gas and matter?
Nebular
