Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Sun and the planets formed together, 4.6 billion years ago, from a cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula. A shock wave from a nearby supernova explosion probably initiated the collapse of the solar nebula. The Sun formed in the center, and the planets formed in a thin disk orbiting around it.
Detailed explanation-2: -The outermost physical layer is the lithosphere (LITH uhs feer). Thin, cool and solid, the lithosphere contains the crust and some of the mantle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which statement BEST describes one difference between Earth’s mantle and crust? The mantle is less dense than the crust.
