The solar nebula was a?
rotating clouds mademostly of helium & hydrogen
How do you use the word solar nebula in a sentence?
A solar nebula is a rotating cloud of gas and dust from which the sun and planets formed. I hope this helps :))
Why do the planets revolve around the sun in the same direction?
They were formed by a nebula that was rotating in that direction.
Was the Orion nebula a nova or a supernova?
The Orion nebula was likely caused by a supernova. It is a huge cloud of gas within which hundreds of new stars are being formed.
What shape is a rotating solar nebula?
Sort of disc-shaped with a lump, like one of those "dog frisbees" with the ball in the middle and the rings around it.
Why is a nebula rotating?
Because the star that blew it off of itself was rotating. Conservation of rotational momentum.

What was the Crab Nebula caused by?
The Crab Nebula was formed when it's host star exploded as a supernova [See related question]
What caused the nebula that formed our solar system to rotate?
1) The collapse is not bound to be perfectly symmetrical. Some pieces of matter will randomly move in one direction, or in another. The net result is that there is some rotation.2) Roughly speaking, anything that rotates will continue rotating.

What is the deinition of Nebula?
a nebula is the cloud of radioactive material dust smoke and debris caused by an exploding start, a nebula happens after a nova or super nova..and somtimes the collapse of a start causes black holes too in which case you wont see a nebula because the massive amount of gravity in the black holes sucks everything in, but yes a nebula is the cloud left over from an exploding star
Why do the moon and sun rotate?
Because they do. In many cases, a "why" question about a physical fact is pointless. Facts are. We can theorize, fairly safely, that the original cause of the star's rotation is that the coalescing stellar nebula had some angular momentum prior to its collapse. Since angular momentum is ALWAYS conserved, the gravitational collapse would force a widely dispersed, slowly rotating nebula to collapse into a very dense RAPIDLY rotating star.
What is the difference between a nebula and a crab nebula?
The Crab Nebula is a nebula.
What is another nebula besides Orion?
Triffid Nebula, Eagle Nebula, Cat's Eye nebula
