What are small asteroid like bodies that formed the building blocks of the planet?
they are called planetesimals
The process by which small debris combines to form planetESimals is called?
Accretion
What some things planetesimals contributed to the early solar system?
dust and gas
Are leftover ice-rich planetesimals called comets?
Only if they fall into elliptical orbits that take them close to the sun. So long as they stay in the Ort cloud, they're planetesimals.
Cold accretion theory?
Large planetesimals have gravitational pull and attract smaaller ones.
What did planetesimals do as earth formed?
As earth formed, most planetesimals were attracted by the earth's gravity and coalesced with earth.
How the rocky inner planets were formed?
By "accretion" of "planetesimals" from the "protoplanetary disk".
After the solar nebula collapsed its center became very hot and?
planetesimals formed the disk
What are small asteroid like bodies that formed the building blocks of the planet?
they are called planetesimals
The jovian planets are thought to have formed as gravity drew hydrogen and helium gas around planetesimals made of?
Rocks, Metals, and Ices
Which one of the following objects is most like the planetesimals that formed in the solar nebula?
There is nothing on the list you provided that resembles them in any way.
What are the names of the way the moon formed?
The fission theory, the capture theory, the condensation theory, the colliding planetesimals theory and the ejected ring theory.
Are stars smaller than planetesimals?
No. Stars are many times larger than planetesimals.
What are the names of the theorys of the way the moon formed?
The fission theory, the capture theory, the condensation theory, the colliding planetesimals theory and the ejected ring theory.
Planetesimals made of ice are called what?
Planetesimals made from ice and sometimes rock are called comets.
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.
How many stages are in The condensation theory?
There are six different stages in the condensation theory. These include the formation of a nebula cloud, the formation of a sun, the formation of planetesimals, the expulsion of gases from the forming sun, the growth of the planetesimals, and the formation of larger planets from planetesimals.
