ACTIVITY # 2
THEORIES ON THE FORMATION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM

A) Video Critique
Directions: Watch a Youtube video entitled, “What if another sun entered our solar
system?” with the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJXGt26f8ZI and " what if a
new planet formed in a solar system with the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=PUXWcHDwwuw&t=198s . Then answer the following questions below. Your answer
must be 30 words and above. Deductions will be given if: a) it is not exceed in the
minimum words, b) your answers are copied from a Google site or your classmate’s
work and c) if it makes no sense at all. (5 points each)

1. In the video, what if another sun entered the Earth, which of the following
hypothesis in the formation of the solar system does it portrayed? How? At least give
three similarities to support your answer.
-i think the encounter hypothesis because in the video “what if another sun entered our
solar system” it shows the effects if a rogue star would pass the oort cloud the rogue star
will disrupt the orbits and it will destroy earth because of the asteroids that will fall on
earth because of the star
i think the first similarity they have is when just 2 stars will come close to each other
the second is that they will disrupt each others gravity
the third is that it will affect the planets or materials around them or even both suns itself

2. Describe the rogue star that happened to passed by in the Encounter


hypothesis. Is the rogue star and the quasi star similar? Yes/No. Why?
-well the rogue star just passed by our sun and because of the gravity of 2 suns they
both release hot gasses that will form planets the rogue star creating the gas planets
while the our sun will create terrestrial planets well a rogue star is a star that escaped
the gravitational pull of its home galaxy and then it just moves independently while a

quasi star is a hypothetical star that is powered by a black hole the only similarities that i
came up with is that they are both a star but the quasi star is more powerful

3. How about the video what if a new planet formed in a solar system, what
hypothesis does it portrayed? Give 3 similarities found in the video and in the hypothesis
to support your answer.
-the hypothesis that was portrayed was the nebular hypothesis well the first similarity
they have is when the gas cloud started rotating because of gravity
the second is while gas cloud is rotating a central mass is formed
the third is when centrifugal force balances gravitational forces and a planet will form

CONCLUSION:well the hypothesis that were created in the past was used to predict
what would happen if the scenarios in the videos was to happen it gives us an idea

B) Complete the table below: (1 point each answer)

Theories Proponents Claim Flaws


Encounter The Encounter Theory they claim that the the flaws in this
Hypothesis proposed by Georges formation of our solar theory is that hot
Leclerc and Comte de system was created gas expands and
Buffon because of a rogue star
that came across to our not contracts and
sun then the gas that other flaw is that the
was released on the encounter between
rogue star became the
gas planets then tha gas stars is so rare
that was released from
our sun became the
terrestrial planets
Protoplanet W. H. McCrea a rotating gas and flaw is the

Hypothesis dust clouds starts to mechanism from


contract because which the disk
of gravity most of turns into
the mass was individual planets
moved to the
center and it
became the sun
and the remaining
materials forms a
disc that will
became planets
Nebular Hypothesis Emanual a nebula will be there is the

more dense and
hotter mostly on the

center and that will the same way
turn into our sun relative to the
ecliptic.
