The birth of the solar system
A giant spherical shell that surrounds our solar system.
What is the Oort Cloud?
These are the gas giants.
What are Jupiter and Saturn?
This pulls clumps of dust and gas together.
What can gravity do?
The two main gasses in a nebula?
What are hydrogen and helium?
It is filled with icy bodies.
What is the Kuiper belt?
Merucy, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
What are the inner planets (rocky planets, terrestrial planets)?
Gas and dust clouds came from this.
What is a Super Nova?
These two forces form solar systems.
What can Gravity and pressure create?
This is considered an almost empty ring.
What is the Kuiper belt?
These are the ice giants
What are Uranus and Neptune?
This is a cold spinning cloud of gas.
What is a solar nebula?
This occured when enough particles of gas became dense and packed in the center creating this reaction and a sun is born.
What is nuclear fusion?
It is known as the junk yard of the solar system.
What is the Kuiper belt known as?
Many of these are found between Mars and Jupiter
Where do you find asteroids?
This forms when the speed of rotation increases causing the solar nebula to flatten out.
What causes an accretion disk?
Created when gravity and pressure are upset within an area of the nebula creating small regions of these.
What are globules?
4.6 billion years ago.
When was our solar system formed?
Here you will find icy pieces the size of mountains and sometimes larger.
What is inside the Oort cloud?
The method of planet formation.
What is Accretion theory ?
This theory explains why planets and stars spin in the same directional plane and the planets arrangements in the solar system.
What does the neublar hypothesis theory explain?
This is created when particles bump into each other.
What produces pressure?
