What role does gravity play in the formation of our sun and planets?

Question

a.Gravity pulls gas and dust together to form the sun and planets

b.Gravity creates heat and light in the sun

c.Gravity repels gas and dust away from the sun

d.Gravity causes the sun and planets to rotated

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

a. Gravity pulls gas and dust together to form the sun and planets.

Gravity is a fundamental force that plays a crucial role in the formation of stars and planetary systems. It causes the gas and dust in a molecular cloud to collapse into denser regions, eventually leading to the formation of a protostar (which will become a sun) and surrounding material that can form planets.
