Scientists think that gravity is responsible for the formation of ________________ ______________, ______________, and __________________. Where did all of this mass come from? (This is not in your chapter) Although scientists have proposed several different theories to explain the beginning of the universe, the current and most widely accepted is The Big Bang Theory. The Big bang Theory states that billions of years ago, all the matter and energy in the universe was compressed into an extremely small volume. About 14 billion years ago, a sudden event called “the big bang” sent all of the matter and energy outward in all directions. As the universe expanded, some of the matter gathered into clumps because of gravity that evolved into galaxies. Today, the universe is still expanding and the galaxies continue to move apart from one another. Like any theory, The 6 Big Bang Theory must continue to be tested against each new discovery about the universe. As new information emerges, the theory may be revised, or a new theory may become more widely accepted. Solar systems: Scientists think that all solar systems begin as ________________ of materials. Remember: the Law of Universal Gravitation says that every object in the universe attracts all other objects. A solar system forms when ______________ ____________________________________. The cloud collapses because of the gravity and starts to ______________, forming a __________________________. Stars: Most of the material in the spinning disk is pulled to the _______________. __________________ and ___________ increases until _____________________ begins, releasing _______________ as ____________ and _______________. Planets: Some of the material in the spinning disk remains _________________ the star and begins to form into ___________________. The ______________ at the center of a solar system exerts a large gravitational force on all the other objects in the solar system. The _______________________ keeps the other objects from _______________________, and so they stay in _________________________________________________________________.
