What else can I help you with?
A model for the solar system in which the sun and planets condensed from a cloud (or nebula) of gas and dust?
A model for the solar system in which the sun and planets condensed from a cloud (or nebula) of gas and dust
How is the sun similar to the planets?
It is a cosmic body, formed from a cloud of dust and gases.
What is dust cloud theory?
Theory that states dust and clouds condensed to form the sun and the planets by gravitational means
Who discovered the theory of dust cloud theory?
The dust cloud theory, which suggests that the solar system formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust, was proposed by Russian astrophysicist Viktor Safronov in the 1960s. He published his ideas in his book "Evolution of the Protoplanetary Cloud and Formation of the Earth and Planets."
What is a rotating cloud of gas and dust that formed into the sun and planets called?
A rotating cloud of gas and dust that formed into the Sun and planets is called a solar nebula. This nebula collapsed under its own gravity, leading to the formation of the Sun at its center and the planets in the surrounding disk. The process of accretion within this rotating cloud eventually resulted in the diverse bodies of our solar system.
What is the hypothesis that states that the sun and the planets developed out of the same cloud of gas and dust called?
The Nebular Hypothesis.
What does a large cloud of gas and dust called?
A large cloud of gas and dust in space is called a nebula. These nebulae are often the birthplaces of stars and planets, with various types such as emission, reflection, and dark nebulae.
What type of cloud has dust in it?
a dust cloud
How did the planets start orbiting the sun?
There are three different theries of creation, but I can only remember two of them. 1> divine Creation- the theory that God created the planets and the life on them 2> The Big Bang Theory- the theory that all the matter in space hit together causing a big explosions which created the planets.
What caused planets to rotate?
Planets (and stars) were formed out of dust and gas. That had a rotation to it which does not go away (this is known as the Conservation of Angular Momentum).
Can condense and become concentrated enough to form a star and possibly planets?
A nebula is a large cloud of gas and dust in space. As gravity pulls the particles in a nebula closer together, it can cause the material to condense and become concentrated enough to form a star and, eventually, planets.
Is planet Eris is still forming?
No, it was formed by the same cloud of dust that created the sun and planets millions of years ago.
