. Scientists believe that Earth and the other planets formed _____.?
They believe the planets formed from a disc of gas and dust called a "protoplanetary disc".
What theory describes that the sun and planets formed out of the same cloud of gas and dust?
Nebular model
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.
Why are there no giant planets beyond Neptune?
well probably because when the solar system formed, the sunwas made of gas and dust, the remaining gas and dust not used on the sun became the planets, most likely during the formation of the planets their was only enough dust to make 9 planets and a few million asteroids
Why do planets orbit the sun at different distances?
The planets formed from a disk of gas and dust that surrounded the sun as it formed. This gas and dust clumped together to form the solar system. Two planets cannot occupy orbits that are too close together. If they do, interactions through gravity will either cause them to collide or get moved to different orbits.
What is The disk of dust and gas that formed the sun and planets called?
The disk of dust and gas that formed the Sun and planets is known as the solar nebula.The dense concentration of gas at the center of this rotating disk eventually became the Sun.
. Scientists believe that Earth and the other planets formed _____.?
They believe the planets formed from a disc of gas and dust called a "protoplanetary disc".
How did the planets and satellites formed?
From rocks, ice, dust, and gas. This process is called Accretion.
What theory describes that the sun and planets formed out of the same cloud of gas and dust?
Nebular model
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).

What is the process by which planets and other satellites are formed from planetary particles of gas and dust that collide and stick together?
Inertia
What does gas and dust formed in our solar system produce?
It is from interstellar gas and dust that we all came. The stars, planets, asteroids, and comets all came from clouds of gas and dust. As far as OUR gas and dust NOW, nothing much is produced. Its mostly all used up in the making of us.
What mathematician proposed that the sun and the planets formed out of the same cloud of dust and gas?
Emanuel Swedenborg, who was Swedish as his name suggests.
Astronomers think planets formed from interstellar dust and gases that clumped together in a process called?
Planetesimal formation.
