    Origin of The Solar System: John Benedict B. Valdeavilla STEM Faculty

    Uploaded by

    Ronald Rosales
    The document discusses several theories about the origin and formation of the solar system. It provides details on the components that make up the solar system, including the sun, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and meteors. Several prominent theories are mentioned, such as the Solar Nebular Hypothesis which describes how the solar system formed from a nebula cloud of dust and gas around 4.5 billion years ago, as well as other theories like the Condensation Theory and Planetesimal Theory.

    Origin of the Solar System

    John Benedict B. Valdeavilla


    STEM Faculty
    Any ideas about Solar System…
    Many theories are proposed about
    the formation of our solar system.

    The solar system includes the sun,


    the planets, and their moons, the
    asteroids, comets, and meteors.
    Space Objects in the Solar System
    Sun 1

    Moons 173

    Planets 8 (4 terrestrial planets, 4 gas planets)

    Dwarf 5
    Planets
    150 million and more (larger than 100 meters)
    Asteroids
    found in the Kuiper Belt
    Comets Millions of them in the Oort Cloud

    Millions of planetesimals, icy particles, and


    OortCloud
    comets.
    The Geocentric model
    by Claudius Ptolemy
    (90 CE-168CE), which
    states that the Earth was
    the center of the Solar
    System.
    The Heliocentric model
    by Nicholas Copernicus
    (1473-1543), which states
    that the sun is rather the
    center of the Solar
    System.
    The Solar Nebular Hypothesis
    The solar nebular hypothesis describes
    the formation of our solar system from a
    nebula cloud made from a collection of
    dust and gas. It is believed that the sun,
    planets, moons, and asteroids were
    formed around the same time around 4.5
    billion years ago from a nebula.
    Condensation Theory
    The condensation theory of the solar system
    explains why the planets are arranged in a
    circular, flat orbit around the sun, why they
    all orbit in the same direction around the sun,
    and why some planets are made up primarily
    of rock with relatively thin atmospheres.
    Terrestrial planets such as Earth are one type
    of planet while gas giants -- Jovian planets
    such as Jupiter -- are another type of planet.
    Planetesimal Theory

    Also called collision theory. A star collided


    with our Sun, resulting in scattering of
    Sun’s matter into space. Some of the
    ejected gas condensed to form icy
    particles. Other particles coalesced and
    formed lumps of matter. Eventually,
    through accretion plantes were formed.
    THEORY OTHER NAMES

    Solar Nebula Nebular Theory,


    Theory Nebular Hypothesis
    Condensation Dust-Cloud Theory,
    Theory Protoplanets Theory
    Planetisimals
    Collision Theory
