Study Notes
Early Theories of Solar System Formation
- Rene Descartes: Proposed that space was entirely filled with matter in various states, whirling around the Sun like a vortex.
- Immanuel Kant: Suggested that contraction in the middle of the rotating cloud appeared, and the rest flattened out like a disk.
- Pierre Simon Laplace: Proposed a model where a slowly rotating nebula collapsed under gravity.
- Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon: Conceived the idea that a comet collided with the Sun sending matter off to form the planets.
Solar System Formation: Modern Perspectives
- Harold Urey: Studied the chemical composition of space objects, concluding that meteorites contain chondrules.
- Victor Safronov: Proposed that the solar system was formed 4.568 billion years ago when a smaller part of a giant molecular cloud experienced a gravitational collapse.
- Laplace's Theory: Described a nebula collapsing into an oblate spheroid due to the increase in its spin rate.
- Solar Nebular Disk Model: States that the Sun flattened into a protoplanetary disk.
