Which step number of solar system formation is this?
1st
What step of solar system formation is this?
nebula: a cloud of gas and dust
Which step number of solar system formation is this?
2nd
What step of solar system formation is this?
Gravity causes the cloud to shrink. Particles colliding cause it to heat up.
Which step number of solar system formation is this?
3rd
What step of solar system formation is this?
As the cloud shrinks, it starts spinning faster.
Which step number of solar system formation is this?
4th
What step of solar system formation is this?
The spinning causes the nebula to start to flatten.
Which step number of solar system formation is this?
5th

6th
What step of solar system formation is this?
The sun starts fusion.
Why can’t gasses and ices form near the sun?
It’s too hot for atoms to slow down and stick together
