ORIGIN OF THE
SOLAR SYSTEM

ORIGIN OF THE SOLAR
SYSTEM
ORIGIN OF THE SOLAR SYSTEMOur solar system began forming about 5 billion years ago,
when a cloud of gas and dust between the stars in our Milky
Way Galaxy began contracting. A nearby supernova—an
exploding star—may have started the contraction, but most
astronomers believe a random change in density in the cloud
caused the contraction.
Once the cloud—known as the solar nebula—began to
contract, the contraction occurred faster and faster. The
gravitational energy caused by this contraction heated the
solar nebula.
This spin kept the nebula from forming a sphere; instead, it
settled into a disk of gas and dust.

HOW DID THE SOLAR SYSTEM FORMED?
Astronomers think that the solar system may have come from a swirling cloud of gas and dust. First a star, our Sun, formed from a clump in the cloud. It began as a spinning ball of gas at the center of the cloud. Then the planets, their moons, and the other objects in the solar system formed from the leftover gas and dust.

Evidence for Ongoing Planet
Formation
Many young stars in the Orion Nebula are
surrounded by dust disks:
Probably sites of planet formation
right now!

Two Kinds of Planets
Terrestrial (earthlike) planets: Mercury, Venus,
Earth, Mars
Jovian (Jupiter-like) planets: Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune
![Page 11: Universe PPT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/55860019d8b42a58068b5002/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Terrestrial Planets
Four inner planets of the solar system
Relatively small in size and mass (Earth is the
largest and most massive)
Rocky surface
Surface of Venus can not be seen directly from Earth because of its
dense cloud cover.
![Page 12: Universe PPT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/55860019d8b42a58068b5002/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Jovian PlanetsMuch larger in mass
and size than terrestrial planets
Much lower average density
All have rings (not only Saturn!)
Mostly gas; no solid surface

SUN
The Sun provides
Earth with huge
amounts of energy in the form of heat
and light. Without the Sun, life on Earth would
not be possible.

MERCURY
Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun. It
is dry, hot, and nearly airless.

Days on Venus seem endless. Venus is the
second planet from the Sun. One day on Venus is as long as 243 days
on Earth.

MARSIts surface is
like a very cold desert. There is ice, but no liquid water.
Mars has reddish-brown rocks and soil. We often call Mars the red
planet because from Earth, it looks bright red in the night sky.
![Page 27: Universe PPT](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081422/55860019d8b42a58068b5002/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

The Pathfinder mission, which visited Mars in 1997, did many tests of the planet’s soil and rocks. It also sent back lots of photos,
like this one.

water on its surface, based on evidence like the
channels shown in this photo.

The surface of Jupiter’s
moon Europa is covered with ice.
Astronomers think the ice
may lie on top of huge
oceans of liquid or
slushy water.

ENCELADUSSaturn's moon
Enceladus is the brightest moon
in the solar system. The cold, distant world reflects
over 90 percent of the sunlight it receives, giving
its surface about the same reflectivity as
new-fallen snow.
