Select the observed properties of the Solar System that all theories regarding its formation must explain. the presence of life on Earth the position of the Solar System in the Milky Way all the planets orbit the Sun in nearly the same plane the number of planets orbiting the Sun the existence of the Kuiper belt and Oort cloud the Sun and most of the planets rotate in the same direction

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.
