There is no maximum number, and "nebular theory" has been knocked for a loop by the recent discoveries of 400+ "extra-solar planets" - planets orbiting other stars.
Classical theories predicted that planetary systems would be rare; however, it seems that every nearby star we've looked at recently has been discovered to have planets - LOTS of planets.
What else can I help you with?
How nebular theory happen?
Somebody had an idea, built up a theory, and started publishing it!
According to our theory of solar system formation why do you find some exceptions to the general rules and patterns of the planets?
Most of these are a result of giant impacts
The planets were originally giant comets captured by the sun?
Our current theory of the formation of our solar system is that the planets formed more or less in their present orbits. We do not believe that the planets (with the exception of Pluto) were "captured" by the Sun's gravity.
What was Copernicus' theory about the sun and planets. how was it different from what people believed before?
Copernicus's theory was called the Heliocentric Theory. It said that the Earth and planets orbited around the sun, and the Sun was the center of the universe. The previous theory, mainly advocated by the Catholic Church, was called the Geocentric Theory; which stated that the Sun and planets orbited around the Earth, and that the Earth was the center of the Universe.
Why does Aristarchus idea that the Sun is much larger than the Earth support the heliocentric theory of the solar system?
According to modern understanding, the planets, and the Sun, move around the Solar System's center of mass. Since the Sun is much more massive than the planets, this center of mass is very close to the Sun. If the Sun is much larger than any of the planets, it seems likely that it also has a greater mass - assuming that their respective densities are somewhat similar. And indeed, this is the case here.
What is the name of the theory for the formation of your solar system?
the nebular theory
Which theory offers an explanation of how the solar system formed'?
nebular theory
When the first hot Jupiter's were discovered their existence seemed inconsistent with the nebular theory because this theory predicts that?
jovian planets can form only in the cold, outer regions of a solar system
What is the three theory of the formation of the solar system?
The three theories of the formation of the solar system are the nebular theory, the planetesimal hypothesis, and the gravitational instability theory. The nebular theory proposes that the solar system formed from a rotating disk of dust and gas, while the planetesimal hypothesis suggests that small, solid bodies collided and accreted to form planets. The gravitational instability theory proposes that clumps of material in a protoplanetary disk collapsed under their gravity to form planets.
What are the steps of the nebular theory?
The steps of the Nebular Theory consist of: The collapse of the nebula and formation of the protoplanetary disk and protosun. The condensation of planetessimals. The Accretion of planetessimals to form planet seeds. The Formation of Jovian planets through nebular capture and the solar wind of young sun clears away the remaining gas.
What is protoplanet nebular model?
The protoplanetary nebular model is a theory that describes how planetary systems form from a disk of gas and dust surrounding a young star. According to this model, the planets form as material within the disk accretes onto planetesimals, which eventually grow into planets through collisions and gravitational interactions. This model is widely accepted in planetary science for explaining the formation of our own solar system and others.
What theory of birth of the solar system which involves a passing star pulling dust and debris from the forming sun?
No, nobody uses the term "solar galactic hypothesis". You may be referring to a "solar nebula", in which a cloud of gas and dust collapses under its internal gravity to form a star and perhaps some planets.
The main difference between the nebular and condensation theories is that the condensation theory stresses the importance of to the formation of planets.?
The main difference between the nebular and condensation theories is their emphasis on different aspects of planet formation. Nebular theory focuses on the collapse of a rotating nebula to form a star and planets, while condensation theory emphasizes the role of solid particles (dust and gas) in the early stages of planet formation.
The formation of the solar system from a huge cloud of dust and gases is called?
The formation of the solar system from a huge cloud of dust and gases is called solar nebular hypothesis. This theory suggests that a rotating disk of gas and dust collapsed under its own gravity, forming the Sun and planets.
Describe the steps in the formation of the universe and the solar system according to the nebular theory?
According to the nebular theory, the universe began with the Big Bang, leading to the formation of a vast cloud of gas and dust called a nebula. Over time, gravity caused this nebula to collapse and spin, forming a rotating disk. In the center, matter accumulated to create the Sun, while cooler regions allowed particles to coalesce into planetesimals, eventually forming planets and other solar system bodies. This process resulted in the structured formation of the solar system we observe today.
Who discovered the nebular theory?
The nebular theory was proposed by the French mathematician and astronomer Pierre-Simon Laplace in the 18th century. The theory suggests that the solar system formed from a giant rotating cloud of gas and dust, known as a nebula.
What model describes how the solar system formed?
The most widely accepted model for the formation of the solar system is the nebular hypothesis. This theory suggests that the solar system formed from a rotating mass of gas and dust known as the solar nebula, which collapsed under its own gravity to form the Sun and surrounding planets approximately 4.6 billion years ago.
