What statements about the formation of the solar system are true and in a correct order?

A spinning cloud of dust began to compress to form the sun; small planetary objects formed; hydrogen and helium became concentrated in the outer solar system to form the outer planets.


Is the sun the center of your solar system true or false?

TRUE!!!! All the planets in the Solar system including Earth orbit the Sun, in ellipses. The Sun lies at one of the foci of these ellipses, NOT the centre. So the Sun is NOT at the 'dead' centre of the Solar system.


Is it true that your solar system has one sun?

No, our solar system has one sun, which is known as the star we call the Sun.


True or false the heliopause marks the end of the solar system?

FALSE. The outer edge of the "Oort Cloud" of comets marks the end of the Solar System.


The truse shape of planetary orbits was discovered by who?

The true shape of planetary orbits was discovered by Johannes Kepler in the early 17th century. He formulated three empirical laws, now known as Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion, which describe the motion of planets in the Solar System. These laws are as follows: The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the two foci. A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas during equal intervals of time. The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion provide a mathematical description of the motion of planets in the Solar System and explain why planets move in elliptical orbits around the Sun.

Is it true that Pluto is not in our universe?

Planet Pluto is in solar system and Solar system is in the Universe t, hence Pluto is also in our universe.However Pluto was not part of original Solar sytem but was a comet which was captured in a planetary orbit.


Copernicus' model of the solar system gave much better predictions than the model of Ptolemy?

Yes, Copernicus' heliocentric model of the solar system, with the Sun at the center, provided more accurate predictions of planetary movements compared to Ptolemy's geocentric model, which had the Earth at the center. This was due to the simplicity and elegance of Copernicus' model, leading to a better understanding of the true nature of the solar system.


Is it true that the universe is made up of our solar system?

No, it is not true. The Universe is much, much more than just our Solar System.

Is it true that all the planets in the solar system revolve around the sun?

yes and the sun revolves around some thing bigger


Is it true that there is other planets out of your solar system?

Yeah


How many true planets are in our solar system?

There are eight.


Is it true that your solar system began as rotating disk of gas and dust?

Actually no, because a solar system is just a place for planets to be there. Solar system is just like space.


Is it true that were not alone in the solar system?

Think about it, the solar system isn't that big. But I think there are microbes and bacteriums on one of the planets.
