What did gravity create when 99% of the gas and dust materials were gathered into the center of a flattened disc during the formation of the solar system? Responses the moons of planets the moons of planets - no response given the sun the sun - no response given the asteroid belt the asteroid belt - no response given the planets
How were the planets in the solar system formed? Responses The solid materials were forced out of the sun's disc and cooled down. The solid materials were forced out of the sun's disc and cooled down. - no response given The dust particles were attracted by gravity from distant galaxies. The dust particles were attracted by gravity from distant galaxies. - no response given The gas particles released by the sun were pulled away and became solid. The gas particles released by the sun were pulled away and became solid. - no response given The remaining materials from the sun's formation clumped together due to gravity.
The remaining materials from the sun's formation clumped together due to gravity.
What prevents the gravity of the sun to pull all of the planets towards it? Responses the planets' speed as they orbit the sun the planets' speed as they orbit the sun - no response given the large distance of the planets from the sun the large distance of the planets from the sun - no response given the sun's weak gravity the sun's weak gravity - no response given the size and shape of the planets around the sun
the planets' speed as they orbit the sun
Which change in the sun’s gravity would occur if the sun’s mass were reduced by one-half? Responses It would be unchanged. It would be unchanged. - no response given It would be zero. It would be zero. - no response given It would be halved. It would be halved. - no response given It would be doubled.
