Question

Which statements help explain how Earth formed as part of the solar system water and ammonia condensed from gases to ice particles that interrupt material in the solar nebula stay closer to the Sun gaseous planets slowly change the rocky planet after a colliding with media rights acceleration of cosmic dust form the seeds of planets including Earth very large asteroid broke apart to form rocky planets including Earth select the two correct answers

Answer 1

To explain how Earth formed as part of the solar system, the two correct statements would be:

1. Water and ammonia condensed from gases to ice particles that accumulated material in the solar nebula. This describes the process by which volatile compounds in the solar nebula condensed as temperatures dropped in the outer regions, contributing to the formation of icy bodies and, ultimately, planets.

2. Cosmic dust formed the seeds of planets, including Earth. This statement reflects the planetary formation process, where tiny particles of dust and gas coalesced to form larger bodies, which eventually grew into planets through accretion.

The other statements about gaseous planets, colliding media rights, or asteroids do not accurately describe the primary processes involved in the formation of Earth compared to those two statements.
