Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which statement summarizes how the formation of the Solar System was similar to the differentiation of Earth into layers?
A
in both processes, the most massive materials moved to the center
B
in both processes, the most massive materials moved to the outside
C
in both processes, the most massive materials were evenly distributed
D
in both processes, the most massive materials formed the middle layer
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 Modern Nebular theory The planets originate in a dense disk formed from material in the gas and dust cloud that collapses to give us 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: -The solar nebula theory is the theory that posits that the planets and sun in the solar system formed from the solar nebula. To sum everything up, an interstellar cloud of gas and dust rotated and flattened into a disk, with the sun forming in the center and the planets in orbits around the sun.
