You are describing the solar nebula theory to a friend. You point out that it provides an explanation for the regular motion in

our solar system, the division of the planets into terrestrial and Jovian types, and an explanation for the origin and nature of comets and asteroids. Your friend agrees that this is all very nice, but that it seems that the solar nebula theory fails the basic criteria for a scientific theory, to make predictions about the natural world that can be observationally tested. In her opinion, all the solar nebula theory does is explain known facts, albeit in a compelling and economical way. How would you answer your friend and make the case that the solar nebula theory is indeed a scientific theory that has passed many observational tests? What are some predictions that the solar nebula theory has made that were confirmed only within the last decade or so?

Explanation:

The widely accepted theory which explains the formation of the solar system is known as the Nebular theory of origin.

The Nebular theory states that the solar system is formed by the explosion of the large gaseous clouds in the centre due to various factors which took place around 457 million years ago.

The explosion leads to the formation of the dust particles which accumulated in large amount in the centre and the suspended particles revolved around it and formed the planets and the centre is known as the sun.

The theory can be proved as :

1. the direction of rotation of planetary bodies are in the same around the same direction.

2. The suspended particles formed the disk around the planets.

3. The planets near the Sun are small and possess lass amount of metals and the silicates whereas the planets far away from the Sun-like Jupiter are larger due to the presence of these metals and silicate which attracted the hydrogen and Helium.

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

In the lab, I discovered the air pressure, air temperature, and relative humidity conditions that create snow, rain, thunderstorms, fog, and clear skies. I learned that low-pressure areas usually experience snowy, rainy, and stormy weather, and that high-pressure areas usually experience either foggy or sunny weather. Knowing how these atmospheric conditions influence weather help weather forecasters predict weather patterns through maps and other information.

Compare structure to function of organs in a variety of organisms
exis [7]
Body organs can be interrelated with other organisms since they are somehow morphologically and physiologically the same.

1. Brain, the brain for most animals are the same, serves the function the same and acts for the many functions of an organism, similarly. This vital organ plays on action-response behavior, management and primal survival instinct, although somehow it's different in structure from the other organisms.
2. Stomach, is an organ wherein the food that is taken in from mouth or opening of a cavity is stored for a short time and is prepared for digestion and metabolic process in the digestive tract or G.I. tract.

In natural selection what must be true of traits that are passed down through generationsal selection where do the alleles or tr
goblinko [34]
I'm not sure if I will answer the question you asked, as I many have interpreted it incorrectly. In natural selection, there must be variance in the gene pool, the total frequency of alleles in a population. Now, one of the organisms may have a gene that somehow helps them survive from the selective force much better compared to the others. If this does happen, over time the gene pool will narrow down to become just the genes of that organism that survived better in the first place because the rest would be taken care of by the selective force. So, the alleles and trait come from the first organisms that had the advantage over the others of its species.
