What else can I help you with?
What is a proplyd?
it is exactly protoplanetary disk.
How the rocky inner planets were formed?
By "accretion" of "planetesimals" from the "protoplanetary disk".
What is the early phaseof a star called once the gas and dust begin to coalesce into a shpere?
A protoplanetary disk.
How did Uranus form?
As best we know, the same way all the other planets did: accretion of objects in a protoplanetary disk.
Where did planets made of mostly gas and ice form protoplanetary disk?
Far enough from the new Sun that they did not "evaporate". In other words, towards the outer rim of the main part of the disk.
What causes the moon?
The moon is a natural satellite that revolves around the earth. It is believed that the moon formed out of a collapsing region of the protoplanetary disk.
How did Jupiter become the biggest planet?
Jupiter is the biggest simply because it got the most stuff out of the "protoplanetary" disk from which the planets formed.
What does a protoplanetary disk most likely have in common with earths solar system?
A protoplanetary disk shares several characteristics with Earth's solar system, as both consist of gas and dust that can coalesce to form planets, moons, and other celestial bodies. In a protoplanetary disk, particles collide and stick together, gradually building larger structures, much like the processes that led to the formation of the planets in our solar system. Additionally, both environments exhibit similar physical conditions, such as temperature gradients and varying densities, which influence the formation and evolution of planetary systems.
Explain why the material surrounding a young star forms a disk?
The prograde rotation of the collapsing cloud of gas and dust results in conservation of angular momentum, causing the material to flatten into a disk shape. This disk of material, known as a protoplanetary disk, is where planets are thought to form through the process of accretion and gravitational interactions.
What will the protoplanetary disks eventually become?
That depends what the disk is forming round. If it is a large black hole it will form a quasar, if it is round a star, it will form planets (a solar system).
How do temperature differences in the protoplanetary disk explain the arrangement of the planets in the solar system?
The protostellar disk is very hot and only rocks and metal can combine together in that heat, so that makes the inner planets. In the outer disk it is very cold, so there are only ice and dust particles able to combine together, there are though rock centers in the outer planets but ice and gas make up the majority: that makes the outer planets.
How do temperature differences in the protoplanetary disk the arrangement of the planets?
Temperature differences in the protoplanetary disk can lead to variations in the composition and distribution of materials, impacting the formation of different types of planets. For instance, inner, hotter regions may favor the formation of rocky planets, while outer, colder regions may support the formation of gas giants. These temperature variations can influence the presence of volatile elements and compounds in different parts of the disk, which in turn affects the types of planets that can form.
