What is the theory for the origin of planetary ring particles?

It appeared from flattened disk of gas and/or dust orbiting the sun.


Which aspect of the nebula hypothesis accounts for the planets orbiting in the same direction and plane?

The collapsing gas and dust cloud began to spin and form a disk.


Are planets formed from the same clouds of gas and dust as stars?

Yes. As a new star is forming it is surrounded by a disk of gas and dust called a protoplanetary disk. Planets, asteroids, and comets all form from this disk.


What is the difference between a meteoroid and an asteroid?

Asteroid: elatively small, inactive body, composed of rock, carbon or metal, which is orbiting the Sun. Comet: A relatively small, sometimes active object, which is composed of dirt and ices. Comets are characterised by dust and gas tails when in proximity to the Sun. Far from the Sun it is difficult to distinguish an asteroid from a comet. Meteoroid: A small particle from an asteroid or comet orbiting he Sun. Meteor:A meteoroid that is observed as it burns up in the Earth's atmosphere - a shooting star. Meteorite: A meteoroid that survives its passage through the Earth's atmosphere and impacts the Earth's surface.A meteoroid is a meteor that hits earth and is recorded, a meteor just keeps orbiting, and orbiting the sun


What is the smallest orbiting body in solar system?

Every gravitationally bound hydrogen atom that is not part of some larger body is tied for this distinction.The "smallest body" is an essentially meaningless term. How big does something have to be to be a "body" ... an atom, a molecule, a grain of dust, marble-sized, or what? There are a very large number of dust-sized particles orbiting the Sun, some of which occasionally enter the Earth's atmosphere and burn up as meteors.

Why does sataurn have rings?

it is dust and rocks/debris orbiting the planet, it is like how the moon orbits earth.

What particles of dust ice and gases orbiting the sun?

Comet.


How can you define the word comet for homework?

The mass of ice and dust orbiting the sun.


What caused dust clouds to form planets over time?

The spinning disk of dust that existed after the formation of the Sun caused dust clouds to form planets over time. Gravity caused the material to come together to form planets.


Where do bad sector come from in hard disk?

Bad Sectors are permenent defects on a Hard Disk Drive (HDD). It maybe come from a factory defect, or an external problem. Keep the hard disk safe and away from any magnetic force or dirt and dust and you can prevent having Bad Sectors on your HDD.


What did the earth form from?

Gas, dust, and space debris orbiting the Sun, 4.5 billion years ago. Gravity pulled it all together and began the process of creating Earth. Christians like me think that god created the earth. But you can believe anything you want
