What explains how your solar system probably formed from a giant cloud of gases and dispersed solid particles?

Answer 1

Solar energy (energy released by the sun) has been around for as long as the sun has - an approximate of around 5 million years. In 1861, Angute Mouchout was the first person to convert solar power into energy, when he created a steam engine that ran entirely on solar power. Solar power is one of the only renewable sources on our planet, but is still very inefficient.

In general terms here is how the solar system came into being. An earlier incredibly massive star exploded into a supernova at the end of its life, leaving a huge cloud of gases and debris. Out of this cloud a section began to come together under the force of its own gravity. The gases that formed the sun gathered in the center, and an accretion disk of materials began swirling around it. The accretion disk is material that began falling toward the central mass but fell into a swirling or orbital pattern rather than falling to the center. This disk of gasses and other debris eventually formed the planets. Solar wind rushing out from the young sun pushed the lighter gases away from itself, and this is why the rocky planets are closer in and the gas giants are farther out.
The Sun was formed about 4.57 billion years ago when a hydrogen mhttp://wiki.answers.com/wiki/Molecular_cloud collapsed. When the hydrogen atoms got transformed into helium atoms, heat energy was released and all this resulted in the formation of a massive star; our Sun.

Answer 2

The most widely accepted theory is the nebular hypothesis, which states that the solar system formed from a giant rotating cloud of gases and dust called the solar nebula. As the nebula slowly collapsed under its own gravity, it began to spin faster, leading to the formation of a protostar at its center. The remaining material in the disk around the protostar eventually clumped together to form the planets, moons, and other objects in the solar system.

Answer 3

First word: gravity. Second word: time. Gravity acted over time in the midst of gas and dust to pull together small amounts and then increasingly larger amounts of material to form our solar system. It was organized in a way that is nicely explained by our friends at Wikipedia, and a link is provided.

Answer 4

The nebular hypothesis explains how the solar system formed from a giant cloud of gases and dispersed solid particles. It is the most widely-accepted hypothesis that explains how the solar system was formed.

Answer 5

First of all, the term "a cloud of dust and gas", while very accurate, is a gross underestimation of the magnitude of material we are talking about. Imagine if all of the matter that makes up the planets and the sun was to turn to dust. This would be an almost inconceivable amount of dust. The reason it is difficult to understand how the solar system could be formed from dust is because when we think of dust in the conventional sense, we are thinking of small amounts of tiny particles. As these tiny particles coalesced, however, they eventually became much larger particles. As they condensed and combined with each other as they hurled through space, coming into contact with dust and particles all the time, they eventually came to be the solar system that we know today.

Answer 6

About 4.6 billion years ago a supernova had occurred, causing a turbulence to heat up debris compacting into celestial objects know as planets or moons. It had also made protostellar disks making the sun by continuing to flow in debris. The heat was hotter than it was today as the disks used heat from the supernova to power it. The power had stopped flowing when the Sun had erupted to be a main-sequence star. Solar wind from the Sun pushed away all debris left in reach, even though some planets kept some of it as rings.

Answer 7

Solar systems are formed when a large cloud of gas comes together, as a result of its own gravity - and often as a result of some "nudge" from the outside, for example, supernova explosions, or the influence of gravity of other objects. Stars often form in groups this way, so it is quite possible that our solar system escaped from a star cluster.
