SOLAR SYSTEM

EARTH SCIENCE
M S . NA R C E L Y M A E A . S A R A B I A
The Solar System that is known
today only formed 8.5 to 9 billion
years after the big bang.

How did the Solar System


came about?
ENCOUNTER HYPOTHESIS
- one of the earliest theories for the
formation of the planets

- a rogue star passes close to the Sun


about 5 billion years ago.

- Material, in the form of hot gas, is


tidally stripped from the S u n a n d t h e
rogue star.
ENCOUNTER HYPOTHESIS
- this material fragments into smaller
lumps
• materials from the rogue star
which form the outer planets
• materials from the sun form the
inner planets
ENCOUNTER HYPOTHESIS
ENCOUNTER HYPOTHESIS

PROBLEM: Encounters between


stars are extremely rare, so
as to be improbable in the
of the Universe ( approx. 15
years)
PROTOPLANET HYPOTHESIS
- suggests that a cloud of gas and
dust ( a b o u t 1 0 m i l l i o n k i l o m e t e r s i n d i a m e t e r ) r o t a t e d
slowly
- cloud of gas and dust began to
collapse which reduced the sized of
the cloud, resulting to an increas e in
rotation

- also, the compression made the


interior so hot, creating a hydrogen
fusion , which formed the sun.
PROTOPLANET HYPOTHESIS
- surrounding the sun was a great
plat e-like disc cont aining a huge
whirlpool where matter accumulated
due to friction.

- the whirlpool shrank into compact


masses, forming the protoplanet s
that later became the planets and
moons.
NEBULAR HYPOTHESIS
- first proposed by I m m a n u e l K a n t a n d
Pierre Simon Laplace

- solar system was formed from a


slowly-rotating cloud of gas (solar
n e b u l a ) that collapsed and flattened
with a hot central region known as
the sun and the remaining ma terials
became the planets and everything
else
NEBULAR HYPOTHESIS
PROBLEM: According to calculations,
the solar nebula would not be able to
form rings nor planets.
SOLAR NEBULA THEORY
- the cloud of gas and dust begins to
collapse because of the gravitational
forces
- t h e s p i n n i n g n e b u l a flattens with a
bulge at the center, the central mass
forms the sun
- the contraction of Solar System
ended
SOLAR NEBULA THEORY
- with that, temperature b e g a n t
decline ( n o E i s converted to thermal o
making the substances/dust to
condense
- the condensed dust grains then
joined together forming the
planet esimals

Planetesimals are small rocky little bodies


in the early Solar System.
SOLAR NEBULA THEORY
- planetesimals stuck together and
then later, forming the four terrestrial
planets

- as the terrestrial planets were being


formed, the gas giants along with
their natural satellites were also
formed.
Gas giants received lower incoming sol ar E
and experienced lower temperatures
SOLAR NEBULA THEORY
WHAT IS THE SOLAR SYSTEM?

The solar system has one star , eight planets ,


five officially named dwarf planets , hundreds
of moons , thousands of comets , and more than
a million asteroids .
IT ’ S IN OUR GALAXY THAT CALLED
‘ THE MILKY WAY ’ .
