Question

The first three steps in the formation of the sun are listed below. 1. A cloud of gas and dust called nebula spins slowly. 2. The nebula collapses due to condensation of gases. 3. The cloud spins faster as it collapses. Which of these statements best describes the next step in the formation of the sun?

Answer 1

Answer

The statement that best describes the next step in the formation of the sun is

3. The cloud spins faster as it collapse

Explanation

The Sun is made up hot plasma having internal convective motion which generates a magnetic field through the dynamo process. According to scientists, the Sun was formed from a giant rotating cloud of gas and dust called the solar nebula. The nebula collapsed due to force of gravity on it causing it to spun faster and flattened the disk. Material was then pulled towards the center to form the sun.
