tidal hypothesis : Theory that the solar system started with a near collision of sun and large star. Few astronomers believe this theory. condensation hypothesis : solar system began with rotating clouds of dust and gas. Condensation happened in center to form sun, and smaller parts of clouds formed. More astronomers believe in this idea. Core : Outer core- liquid; inner core- solid. Very dense in center. Believed that core is 80% iron. Helps heat oceans. Mantle : Surrounds core. ...
