Our best evidence and theoretical calculations indicate that the solar system began with a giant spinning system of gas and dust that scientists call . Group of answer choices

Solar nebula.

Explanation:

A planet can be defined as a large celestial body having sufficient mass to allow for self-gravity and make it assume a nearly circular shape (hydrostatic equilibrium), revolves in an orbit around the Sun in the solar system and has a cleared neighborhood.

Basically, the planets are divided into two (2) main categories and these includes;

1. Outer planets: these planets are beyond the asteroid belt and comprises of jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune, from left to right of the solar system.

2. Inner planets: these planets are the closest to the sun and comprises of mercury, venus, earth and mars.

These outer planets are made mostly of gases (hydrogen and helium) causing them to be less dense than the solid inner planets. These gases are generally known to be less dense in terms of physical properties.

Some examples of the planet found in the solar system are Mars, Venus, Earth, Mercury, Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, etc.

Scientists have been able to understand and discover that, gravity pulled materials (low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust known as a nebula) together forming the planetary bodies in our solar system.

A dark nebula can be defined as an interstellar cloud that is so dense as a result of high concentration of gas and dust and as such it obscures the visible wavelengths of light from stars behind it, thus appearing completely opaque (dark patch) in front of a bright emission nebula or in regions having plenty stars.

The characteristics of a nebulae are;

I. It contain hydrogen.

II. Clouds of gas and dust

III. It is needed to create a star.
