Formation of the universe and formation of solar system Answer: Scientists believe that the solar system was formed when a cloud of gas and dust in space was disturbed, maybe by the explosion of a nearby star (called a supernova). This explosion made waves in space which squeezed the cloud of gas and dust. Squeezing made the cloud start to collapse, as gravity pulled the gas and dust together, forming a solar nebula. Just like a dancer that spins faster as she pulls in her arms, the cloud began to spin as it collapsed. Eventually, the cloud grew hotter and denser in the center, with a disk of gas and dust surrounding it that was hot in the center but cool at the edges. As the disk got thinner and thinner, particles began to stick together and form clumps. Some clumps got bigger, as particles and small clumps stuck to them, eventually formingplanets or moons . Near the center of the cloud, where planets like Earth formed, only rocky material could stand the great heat. Icy ma...
3 non scientific thoughts about the origin of universe I only have two and its religion and Greek Mythology . Religion - (not to insult anyone) God created the heavens and the Earth but since science only believes what it can prove, Id think that theys think there is no God. (but dont get me wrong, Im still a religious person) Greek Mythology - Gaia (translated as mother Earth) the goddess of the Earth came to life in the darkness that was the universe. She was so fertile that she didnt need a partner to have children and thus, came the water, the trees and everything.
