    The Formation of the Solar System is one of the oldest problems in science. There have been many theories on how the Solar System formed‚ but there is only one theory that has been accepted. That would be the nebular theory. Also known as the nebular hypothesis and solar nebula hypothesis. The nebular hypothesis is a model that explains the evolution of the Solar System. Also‚ the nebular hypothesis is the most accepted model in the field of cosmogony. This model explains subjectively many features

    The Solar System The majority of the solar system is made up of the sun and all of the planets that orbit it. There are also moons‚ comets‚ asteroids‚ dust‚ gas‚ and dwarf planets. The sun makes up about 98 percent of our solar system. Because of the suns large mas it pulls every thing in the solar system towards it. The planets orbit around the sun because of the sun pulling it towards it and the planets trying to fly outer space at the same time‚ which balances it out. It was once believed that

    THE SOLAR SYSTEM T The Solar System consists of the Sun and the astronomical objects gravitationally bound in orbit around it‚ all of which formed from the collapse of a giant molecular cloud approximately 4.6 billion years ago. The vast majority of the system’s mass (well over 99%) is in the Sun. Of the many objects that orbit the Sun‚ most of the mass is contained within eight relatively solitary planets whose orbits are almost circular and lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic

    On February 20 2012‚ me and my daughter went to the Gates Planetarium in Denver to see the showing of the Wildest Weather in the Solar System. The first thing we did was to walk around the Space Odyssey and explore some of the exhibit they had. Then we went to see the show which I must say was far more thrilling then I or my daughter could have imagined. When you first walk into the Space Odyssey you are amazed it almost looks as thought your walking on to a spaceship or what I would imagine it

    The Origin of the Solar System A cloud of interstellar gas and/or dust (the "solar nebula") is disturbed and collapses under its own gravity. The disturbance could be‚ for example‚ the shock wave from a nearby supernova. As the cloud collapses‚ it heats up and compresses in the center. It heats enough for the dust to vaporize. The initial collapse is supposed to take less than 100‚000 years. The center compresses enough to become a protostar and the rest of the gas orbits/flows around it

    Asteroids Asteroids are small rock bodies orbiting the sun. It was once believed that the asteroids were the remains of a planet that was destroyed many years ago. This theory can not be proven true because‚ the location of the asteroid belt could not be home to a planet due to Jupiters gravitational pull. It is now believed that asteroid are planetesimals broken down by collision‚ also known as a minute planet. A planetesimal is a body that could or did come together with many others

    Earth is the only planet in our solar system that sustains life‚ and therefore one of the most intriguing planets because of its capabilities. Each of the seven other planets that orbit the same sun as Earth is interesting in its own way. Some planets share similar characteristics to those found on Earth‚ while other planets are completely different. An analysis of these terrestrial bodies‚ using comparative planetology‚ will allow us examine these qualities. However‚ before beginning such a process

    Asteroids. That word might make you cringe‚ shiver in terror‚ or hide. It certainly wouldn’t help for you to know that an Asteroid‚ the size of three and a half football fields might collide with Earth in the near future. The Asteroid might even collide with Earth in your lifetime. In 2029‚ there is a 2.7 percent chance of Apophis hitting Earth‚ says NASA. Further ahead in the future‚ in 2039‚ Apophis will pass by Earth again‚ even closer than in 2029. Our government is already making preparations

    that no one really knows why it ’s like that. What people have figured out so far is that gravity is a force‚ and a force is anything that changes the state of rest or motion of an object. In the absence of outside forces‚ the momentum of a system remains constant. This means that if there was no gravity‚ when one would relinquish one ’s hold on the textbook‚ it would remain at rest in the air. If a force acts on a body‚ the body accelerates in the direction of the force. In the example
