SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The Sun formed from material that condensed in the center of the spinning disk. The nebula also began to spin counterclockwise, as it conserved the angular momentum of the material drawn toward the center. This spinning made the material around the center of the condensing nebula flatten out into a disk-like shape.

Detailed explanation-2: -As a result of the spinning, the nebula flattens out to form a disk, much like a clump of dough which is spun into a pizza. As it continues to flatten and spin, the nebula becomes denser and hotter, particularly in the center. The dense, hot center eventually forms into a star, the Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -Formation. 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-4: -Approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was a cloud of dust and gas known as a solar nebula. Gravity collapsed the material in on itself as it began to spin, forming the sun in the center of the nebula. With the rise of the sun, the remaining material began to clump together.

Detailed explanation-5: -This means six planets spin in a counter-clockwise direction including our Earth, but Uranus spins in a clockwise direction. Not just that, Uranus is the oddest planet of them all as it spins on its side.

Detailed explanation-6: -Shock waves from the explosion compressed the cloud of gas and dust. Compression made the cloud collapse, as gravity pulled the gas and dust together, forming a solar nebula. Just like a dancer that spins faster as she pulls in her arms, the cloud began to spin as it collapsed.
