So from what I've learned, it was kinda like this. A star died out, thus created a solar nebula. The nebula just basically swirled around in space for a while, loosely held together by gravity, until eventually, it began to collapse. As it collapsed, a star in somewhere nearby dyed out and exploded, therefore, disrupting the collapsing nebula and because of the gravitational force, it began to get hotter and hotter, especially in the center. As the heat increased, the particles in the center began to go everywhere and collide. When the particles collided, it caused the nebula to flatten out and expand, thus creating the milky way. Also, the explosion in the center, created the sun. Is this mostly correct? Also, could someone explain this to me a in an easier way to understand? Also, it says there was lots of rock and gas and ice left over from the creation of our galaxy. The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) made up of all these gases and rock, etc that gathered together, because they were so close to the sun, began to mold down in a way and create our rocky worlds. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) were composed of mostly the same elements of the inner planets, but because their distance from the sun was greater, the materials did not have a chance to mold down, so they just basically stayed kept all the elements, creating our large gas giants. Is all of this correct? Thanks!
