Question

Identify which of the following statements provide evidence for the support of the nebular model of Solar System formation. chose all that apply
Ages of meteorites and Moon rocks are greater than 4 Gyr.

The temperature gradient of the Solar System goes from hot in the center to cold on the outer edges.

Most moons orbit their parent planets retrograde.

Jovian planets are composed of ices and gases; Terrestrial planets are composed of rock and metal.

There is a ring of debris in the planet-forming zone.

Terrestrial planets have primary atmospheres and Jovian planets have secondary atmospheres.

The Solar System possesses an abundance of heavy elements.

Some planets spin retrograde on their axes and others spin on their sides.

All planets, asteroids, and most moons of the Solar System orbit near the plane of the ecliptic.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Most moons orbit their parent planets retrograde.
• The temperature gradient of the Solar System goes from hot in the center to cold on the outer edges.
• Jovian planets are composed of ices and gases; Terrestrial planets are composed of rock and metal.
• Some planets spin retrograde on their axes and others spin on their sides.
• All planets, asteroids, and most moons of the Solar System orbit near the plane of the ecliptic.

Explanation:

• The nebular hypothesis is a theory  that states the planet is formed out a cloud of material that was associated with the youthful sun and was slowly rotating and as the material represented form the sun the and slowly the solar system continued to evolve and formed the planets. And mostly composited of the hydrogen and the helium along with the disk clouds and a disk that feeds the central star.
