If you're asking about the large cloud of gas and dust that formed arround the sun in its accretion disk when the sun was first formed, the heavier elements were swept up by the newly formed planets or fell towards the sun. The lighter elements were blown outward by the solar wind, and collected by the larger jovian planets or blown out of the solar system entirely.

What do electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in?
Electrons orbit in electron clouds. They are in definite layers, and are lettered starting with K.
What is a closed orbit?
With an open orbit, the object never returns. Examples would be a satellite in an unstable (open) orbit crashing down on Earth or a passing comet on a hyperbolic orbit which will leave our solar system (ejection loss). Closed orbits are the stable, planet-like orbits where objects return in a predictable manner.
The clouds of Magellan the Sagittarius dwarf are examples of what galaxies?
The clouds of Magellan and the Sagittarius dwarf are examples of satellite galaxies, which are small galaxies that orbit larger galaxies like our Milky Way. They are located relatively close to the Milky Way and are gravitationally bound to it.
Which characteristics of a planet does Pluto fail?
Pluto fails the third characteristic: it has not cleared its neighborhood. This means that it has not cleared the asteroids and other objects that lie within its orbit. ("Clearing" usually means the object is attracted by the planet's gravity and eventually becomes part of the planet).
What is the degree of elongation of an elliptical orbit?
The degree of elongation of an elliptical orbit is determined by its eccentricity, which is a measure of how much the orbit deviates from a perfect circle. An eccentricity of 0 represents a circular orbit, while an eccentricity close to 1 indicates a highly elongated orbit.
What happens to the shape of planet's orbit as its eccentricity increases?
The orbit becomes more eccentric until the orbit becomes almost a strait line.
What do electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in?
Electrons orbit in electron clouds. They are in definite layers, and are lettered starting with K.
What kinds of weather can astronauts from orbit?
They can see rain clouds, hurricanes, and lightning!
Does meteors orbit the sun?
An object only becomes a meteor when it leaves orbit and enters earth's atmosphere.
What rhymes with orbit?
unless u make up a word or something close there isnt a word or try it yourself, this is how: 1. take off first letter of word orbital becomes rbital 2. then add first letter of alphabet in front rbital becomes arbital 3. then if that doesnt work go to the B's, C's, D's.....
What kinds of weather can astronauts see from orbit?
They can see rain clouds, hurricanes, and lightning!
How do all planets orbit the sun?
Through gravitational pull. The largest object will have smaller objects orbit it (objects close in size will orbit each other, but no planet is close to the size of the sun)
In the distant future...what will move synchronized with the Moon's orbit?
Earth's rotation should eventually be synchronized with the Moon's orbit.
Which outer planet's orbit lasts 164 years?
Neptune's orbit is close to 164 years.
What kinds of weather conditions can astronauts see from orbit?
They can see rain clouds, hurricanes, and lightning!
Does the orbit of a black hole and another black hole change?
Yes. Any collision of a black hole with another object would change its velocity and therefore its orbit. But massive black holes orbiting each other, especially if they are in a close orbit, will also lose orbital energy through gravitational waves, and therefore get closer and closer until they eventually collide.
Did the Eagle stay in lunar orbit after it was jettisoned?
For a period of time it stayed in lunar orbit, however, that orbit eventually decayed and the ascent stage crashed onto the moon.
