How is a first generation solar system different from a second generation solar system?
A first generation solar system would have contained mostly hydrogen and very little if any of the heavier elements. Second generation solar systems, made from the exploded remnants of first generation stars, would have a higher proportion of heavy elements and thus have more rocky planets and stars that could use energy sources other than hydrogen fusion after their hydrogen was exhausted.
Why do scientists believe that stars contain the same elements as the solar system?
Scientists believe that stars contain the same elements as the solar system because all elements in the universe are created through nuclear fusion in the cores of stars. Elements are dispersed into space when stars explode as supernovae. These elements then form new stars, planets, and other celestial bodies, resulting in the similarities in elemental composition between stars and our solar system.
Why are we called the children of stars?
Except for hydrogen, all the elements in our bodies were forged in the core of some ancient sun, older than our sun, which blew apart before our solar system formed. Those elements seeded the nebula out of which our solar system developed.
What percentage of all planetary matter in the solar system is in Jupiter's mass?
Jupiter contains about 70% of the total planetary mass in our solar system, making it by far the most massive planet. It is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, the most abundant elements in the universe.
What are procedures of a solar system project?
There are a few steps of a solar system project. You first have to study the solar system.
What elements were present in the infant solar system?
Pretty much all of them. Certainly at least the first 92 (minus, perhaps, technetium), and likely some of the next few as well.
The star present at centre of the solar system?
Our solar system has one star; the Sun.
What is the name of the star that formed the solar System?
Our own sun attracted the material that eventually became he solar system. However since the wide range of materials present (all the elements) required the interaction of may suns to form an reform the atoms there are a myriad of unknown older stars represented in the solar system
What will happen if the member of the solar system did not move around?
There is no gravity present in that particular part of the solar system.
What are the gas substances that compose the majority of the solar system?
The gas substances that compose the majority of the solar system are hydrogen and helium. These elements make up about 98% of the total mass of the solar system, with hydrogen being the most abundant. Other gases like oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen are present in smaller amounts.
What are the two main things the solar system is composed of?
The two most abundant elements in the solar system are hydrogen and helium.
How old the is the solar system?
The Sun is about 4.57 billion years old, so is the solar system.The age of the Solar System is determined through the radiometric dating of heavy elements such as uranium. Measurement of radioactive decay rates allow us to determine when the elements in the Solar System were formed.The most current data places the age of these elements at 4.567 billion years old. This gives us an upper limit for the age of the Solar System. However, these 4.567 billion-year-old elements were formed by a nearby supernova, and the time it took them to travel from the location of the supernova site to the hydrogen cloud whose gravitational collapse into the Solar System by these elements is at present uncertain. Also uncertain is the precise amount of time it took for the collapse to complete from beginning to end. However, our best estimates place the age of the Solar System at 4.5 to 4.55 billion years.
When are comets tails present?
When they reach the inner solar system.
What was the solar systems appearance?
The solar system has existed in its present form for about 4.5 billion years.
What age is the solar system?
The present estimate is about 4.6 billion years.
What are the first elements that were involved in the formation of solar system?
Hydrogen is the primary element. Most of the mass of our solar system is wrapped up in the sun, which is primarily hydrogen. Our solar system was born in a vast cloud of interstellar hydrogen and other materials spewed out from massive supernova. About 90 of the 92 naturally occurring elements are created in cataclysmic star explosions. So all of these elements would have been present in the debris that collected to form the planets now orbiting our sun. Oxygen, silicon, aluminum, sodium, potassium, calcium, and iron would have been fairly common elements in the inner planets.
Two primary gases that were present when your solar system was formed?
Hydrogen and helium were the two primary gases present during the formation of our solar system. These gases dominated the early solar nebula from which the Sun and the planets eventually condensed.
