    THE ORIGIN OF THE

    SOLAR SYSTEM

    INSTANT TASK

    PLANET CARD SORT DIRECTION: Stars follow a very distinct process when they form, and so do
    solar systems and planets. In this activity, you’ll look at six images that illustrate the process of solar
    system and planet formation. Using intuition and logic, determine the correct order of the images. In
    your notebook indicate the correct order for the images to show the progression in the formation of
    our Solar System.

    As the cloud condenses it


    flattens out into a pancake
    shape.

    The nebula clears away as


    the dust grains clump into
    planetesimals

    As the protostar turns dust


    close to the star is vaporized
    and blown away

    Planetesimals collide and


    A protostar forms out of A slowly rotating nebula collect into planets that
    the gas begins to collapse orbit the star

    Nebular Hypothesis:
    A second theory is called the nebular
    hypothesis. In this theory, the whole
    Solar System starts as a large cloud
    of gas that contracts under self-gravity.
    Conservation of angular momentum
    requires that a rotating disk form with
    a large concentration at the center
    (the proto-Sun). Within the disk, planets
    form.

    Lesson discuss
    Protoplanet Hypothesis:
    The current working model for the
    formation of the Solar System is called
    the protoplanet hypothesis.
    It incorporates many of the components
    of the nebular hypothesis, but adds
    some new aspects from modern
    knowledge of fluids and states
    of matter.
