It formed a spinning disk of gas and dust. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521236174 2020-04-21 19:24:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521236174 The disk of dust and gas were being pushed out by the solar wind from the Sun, but they stayed in place from gravity. These particled began to collide with eachother. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521242984 2020-04-21 19:28:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521242984 Accretion occured and eventually eight planets were formed that orbited the Sun. They were classified as inner planets and outer planets. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521257959 2020-04-21 19:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521257959 A solar nebula existed in space. It consisted of gas and dust. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521262727 2020-04-21 19:38:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521262727 An event caused by a supernova or star caused the clouds of gas and dust to collapse on itself from its own gravity. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521281181 2020-04-21 19:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521281181 As the collapse occured, the gas cloud took the shape of a flat disk. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521281545 2020-04-21 19:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521281545 The cloud was rotating faster and faster and pulling materials into the center of itself. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521283067 2020-04-21 19:48:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521283067 The gravitational pull increased and a ball of gas and dust formed in the center of the disk. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521284524 2020-04-21 19:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521284524 Extreme pressure and heat of the material caused hydrogen atoms to fuse together and form helium. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521286364 2020-04-21 19:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521286364 The reaction gave out intense amounts of energy and the materials began to glow, creating the Sun. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521289909 2020-04-21 19:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521289909 Most of the material in the solar system went into making the Sun but there were some leftover. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521294114 2020-04-21 19:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521294114 The material had been pushed out by the reaction that created the Sun, but gravity kept the material in the solar system. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521295588 2020-04-21 19:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521295588 The combonation of inertia and gravity caused the material to orbit the Sun. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521298218 2020-04-21 19:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521298218 Collisions caused small rocks to become large rocks, large rocks to become planetesimals, and planetesimals collided with eachother to create the planets we know today. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521300066 2020-04-21 19:57:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521300066 Solid materials like iron and silicate were able to exist as solids near the Sun without melting. They helped make the inner planets. Materials like methane and water could not exist for long when close to the Sun. They turned into vapor and were pushed away by solar wind. These vapors along with hydrogen and helium formed the outer planets. They could stay in the same state because it was cool enough where the outer planets were formed. cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521309671 2020-04-21 20:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521309671 Nebula cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521333267 2020-04-21 20:14:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521333267 Disk cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521333909 2020-04-21 20:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521333909 Sun cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521334454 2020-04-21 20:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521334454 Material orbiting the Sun cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521334902 2020-04-21 20:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521334902 Planetesimals colliding cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521335667 2020-04-21 20:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521335667 The 8 planets orbiting the Sun cartersimmons24 https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521336587 2020-04-21 20:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cartersimmons24/ex44k8ax4cbtn0pt/wish/521336587
