The Nebular Theory states that the solar system formed from a large collapsing rotating cloud of gas and dust. What features of the solar system, as we observed it today, are necessarily the consequence of angular momentum conservation? Pick all that apply. 1) Planets orbit in nearly the same plane 2) Planets all orbit in the same direction that the Sun rotates. 3) The Sun is at the center of the solar system. 4) Oort cloud comets form a spherical distribution with randomly-oriented orbits. 5) Asteroids and Kuiper belt objects orbit in roughly the same plane as the planets. Keep in mind that just because a statement is true doesn't mean it follows from the conservation of angular momentum, any more than my car being black doesn't explain why it won't start. If needed, review the concept of angular momentum conservation in Chapter 04 and review the its role in the formation of the solar system in Chapter 08.

The nebular theory is the most widely accepted theory about the formation of the solar system. Look at the tiles below and drag the statements that are in agreement with the nebular theory. Select the objects by clicking the tile. Clicking a selected object will deselect it. A gigantic cloud of gas and dust collapsed. The force of gravity pulled the particles in the nebula towards one another, forming a rotating disk. As the nebular particles moved closer together, intense pressure blew them apart. When the particles were close in range, intense pressure caused them to stick together. The sun's great mass formed from the matter pulled from all parts of the nebular cloud. The sun's great mass formed from the matter that was at the center of the disk.
