What are the events leading to the formation of the earth?
long before the Sun and the planets were formed, there was a huge star in the region where we are now…. it went supernova and as a result, there was a lot of clouds of dust and gas and newly formed elements just hanging around in Space… as a result of gravity pulling a few of those clouds of dust and gas closer together, over eons of time, they started clumping together, bonding… the more bits that got together, the more bits they could attract…. as each bit was attracted and went to join the main blob, the movement set up a slight spin….. lots of time later, there was a nice big blob of gas and dust and hydrogen gas, spinning in the middle of this spot in that cloud from the supernova….. it grew and grew until it was so big that it had great pressure in it’s center and it ‘ignited’ into a star!… meanwhile, the dust and gas and elements that DIDN”T make it into the new star’s formation, it was still out in space, swirling around , making blobs due to the gravity the bits
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.” So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, “Let the land
It was all a matter of different sized eddies in the primordial nebula of the solar system. The larger sized vortices formed naturally in the outer regions of the nebula. However, there is now evidence that larger planets may form in the inner solar system before being ‘kicked out’ into the outer reaches. It certainly seems that large planets form near to the parent star, from studies of extrasolar planets that are very large but have very close orbits. Of course this may be only because of the length of time we’ve been observing these planets. The theories will probably change when we have been watching exoplanets over a period of time closer to a typical orbital period. We might have discovered thousands of systems before we find one that is a good approximation to our own dear home system… The planets that we discovered first are probably not typical, just the ones that are easiest to observe on a short time scale. This leads me to believe that planets are extremely common, probab
