1. The document contains two quizzes about theories of solar system formation.
2. Quiz 1 asks about the nebular hypothesis and different scientists associated with versions of this theory, which postulates that the solar system formed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust.
3. Quiz 2 asks about Laplace's nebular theory specifically and ideas like that the early solar system was a slowly rotating nebula that collapsed under gravity.
2. IDENTIFICATION

cycle.
2. The tidal hypothesis postulated by______.
3. The Accretion theory hypothesized by ______.

bodies.

Solar System was formed in _______, ________, and
________.
13-15. TRUE OR FALSE
The universe is enormous, and the solar system is just as
small part of it. The solar system is vast in its own right as I
contains its own star, the sun and eight (formerly nine) not
orbiting planets, as well as numerous moons, dwarf planets,
asteroids, comet material, rocks, and dust. It is believed to
have formed 4.6 billion years ago.
