Radioactive refers to the property of certain elements where their atomic nuclei are unstable and undergo decay, emitting energy in the form of radiation. This radiation can take the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays, and can pose health risks if exposure is not properly regulated.

Collided to form planets?

Dust and gas particles in a protoplanetary disk collided and stuck together to form planetesimals, which then collided and accreted to form planets. The process of gravitational attraction and collisions led to the formation of larger bodies within the disk, eventually forming planets.
