SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -Our solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The cloud collapsed, possibly due to the shockwave of a nearby exploding star, called a supernova. When this dust cloud collapsed, it formed a solar nebula – a spinning, swirling disk of material.

Detailed explanation-2: -The steps to nebular theory go as follows. Nebula becomes a solar nebula as a region within the cloud of gas and dust condenses into a core and forms a protostar. The condensing material could have been caused by a nearby supernova shockwave. The material surrounding the protostar collapses into an accretion disk.

Detailed explanation-3: -Earth, our home planet, is the third planet from the sun.

Detailed explanation-4: -Formation. When the solar system settled into its current layout about 4.5 billion years ago, Earth formed when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become the third planet from the Sun.

Detailed explanation-5: -Solar Nebula. Our solar system began forming within a concentration of interstellar dust and hydrogen gas called a molecular cloud. The cloud contracted under its own gravity and our proto-Sun formed in the hot dense center. The remainder of the cloud formed a swirling disk called of the solar nebula.
