  1. Quick Binder Check

  2. Vocabulary Nebular Theory The Solar System formed from a nebula.

  3. Recap • Nebula contracts due to gravity. • Nebula begins to spin due to centripetal forceand the center bulges. • Gas and dust condensed to form planetesimals. • Protoplanets formed from collidingplanetesimals. • Inner and Outer Planets form by differentiation.

  4. Vocabulary Differentiation The sinking of denser elements towards the center of a planet.

  5. Process of Differentiation During the early process of planet formation, while most of the material was still very hot: • heavier elements collected in the middle of the planets (the core of Earth) • lighter elements stayed closer to the surface(gas/atmosphere)
