Reflections: Notes:
______________________ ➔ Proof that the earth made the moon is that the Rock Composition on the
moon is similar to that on earth
______________________
➔ The theory is called Big Splash Theory
______________________
➔ The Big Planet like mars called Thea that crashed into the earth only scraped
______________________ off the crust and formed the moon hence has no iron
______________________ ➔ Iron is present in core of earth
______________________ ➔ The moon collision was oblique and scraped but still turned both planets into
molten rock
______________________
➔ The moon took less than a month to form
______________________
➔ Both planets’ core combined

______________________ NEBULAS- THE PLACE WHERE STARS ARE BORN
______________________ ➔ Clouds of interstellar dusts and gas Carbon silicon oxygen

➔ Interstellar- The region between twos star systems
______________________ ➔ Basic building block is hydrogen
➔ Nebular hypothesis
______________________ The most accepted theory of evolution of stars.
➔ After nebula spins fast and compresses to form an accretion disk i.e force of
______________________ gravity
➔ The gas warmed because of the pressure by friction and the temp continued
______________________ to rise
➔ It gradally creates a protostar
______________________ ➔ Protostar- the initial stage of the star
➔ When two hydrogen fuse they form an isotope called duranium.
______________________ ➔ When Duranium 2 combine to form energy
➔ Protoplanetory disk- a disk where protoplaets are formed
______________________ ➔ Plants and the star they orbit usually spin in the same direction and lie in the
same plane : The nebular hypothesis explains this.
______________________ ➔ The arrangement of the planets - rocky planets near to the sun, gas giants
farther away : The nebular hypothesis explains this.

WHAT HAPPENS TO STARS?
______________________
➔ From protostar to main sequence
______________________ ➔ Our sun is in main sequence phase
➔ Either it becomes to red giant phase or red SUPER giant phase
______________________ ➔ The red SUPER giant phase can go to a supernova to thena black hole or a
neutron star
______________________ ➔ If red giant star then goes through a planetary nebula and after that becomes
a white dwarf star
______________________ ➔ Every star has a goldy lox zone which is a just perfect zone which would be
able to have water if it too close it would explode and if its too far it would be
______________________ solid or ice.
➔ The path that the super red giant goes through depends on its mass.
______________________ ➔ red giant stars are formed in 1-7 billion years
➔ SUPER red giant stars are formed in 1-10 million years
______________________ ➔ Bigger the star lesser its lifetime
______________________
HOW DO NEBULAE FORM?
➔ Fuel for stars is hydrogen
➔ Ways to detect planets
➔ Transit method / WINK -
