With the exception of Hydrogen, all other elements in the solar system are manufactuered in the bowels of a star. And all elements heavier than iron have to be manufactured in the explosion of a supernova star.

Most of the smaller inner planets in the solar system are composed of the heavier elements and most of the huge outer planets are composed of the lighter elements What might you conclude by that fact?

Lighter elements could not condense in areas around the sun.


Where is most of the mass in the solar system and what effect does this have?

Most of the mass of the solar system is in the sun. As a consequence all objects in the solar system orbit the sun.


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.


Where do most of the heavier elements in the universe originate?

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.


Where are most black holes in the solar system?

There is no known black hole in our Solar System.


Can it be assumed that whatever elemenets earth has will be found on other planets?

Well yes and no. The reason we have the elements that we have on earth is because they're from the Sun, or at least the star before the Sun. Before the Solar System as we know it today, a star exploded, and the elements were spread across the Solar System. Eventually most of them came together to make the planets and the Sun. Now, other planets are highly likely to have most of the elements found in the solar system, since 1 proton is always hydrogen, 2 protons is Helium etc. We can't know for sure if a planet has ALL the elements that ours has, but it could.


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.
