  1. Our Solar System

  2. Formation of a solar system according to the Big Bang Theory

  3. Nebula • 62)The dust and gas clump together in huge interstellar clouds called nebulas (or nebulae),

  4. Solar Nebula • A nebula that has collapsed inward from its own gravity • Under great pressure the gas ignites and begin to burn • A star is born • Solar Nebula is a nebula with a star

  5. Planets Form • Because of their greater gravitational attraction, the largest planetesimals begin to collect more and more of the dust and gas of the solar nebula.

  6. Planetesimals The star in the nebula causes the remaining gas and dust to swirl around These gases and dust also colloid and form small group of matter called Planetesimals

  7. Solar System Crash • Smaller planetesimals collide with the larger ones, and planets begin to grow.

  8. Dangerous earlier Solar System • Smaller planets, comets and asteroids continue to crash into larger planets

  9. Solar System has been formed

  10. 23)The planets of our solar system differ in size, composition (rock or gas), surface and atmospheric features, and distance from the sun. 24)Planets move around the sun in nearly elliptical (circular type) orbits.

  11. 25)The sun is a medium-sized star located near the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy. 26)The planets are divided into two groups. The inner planets are smaller, closer to the sun, and have rocky surfaces, while the outer planets are larger, farther from the sun and do not have solid surfaces.

  12. 27)Our solar system is a single star system, located in the Milky Way Galaxy. 28)The Big Bang Theory states the solar system is about 4.6 billion years old.

  13. What we are compared to other solar systems

  14. Here is Earth compared to the inner planets plus the dwarf planet Pluto

  15. Here is Earth and the other inner planets compared to the outer planets.

  16. Our planets compared to our sun

  17. Our sun compared to other suns

  18. Still, other suns
