Solar Nebula Cloud

Solar Nebula Cloud
Why did the solar nebula flatten into a disk?

1.As the nebula cooled, the gas and dust settled onto a disk.

2.Although gravity caused the nebula to contract in all directions, the centrifugal effect of the clouds rotation made it easier for the cloud to collapse in the direction perpendicual to the plane of rotation. .

3.The force of gravity is actually stronger in the direction towards the plane of the galaxy, so all solar nebulae flatten in the same plane as the galaxy.

4.The interstellar cloud from which the solar nebula formed was originally somewhat flat.

answer (2) makes the most sense when you think about collisions in bodies and physical conservation of momentum.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Nebula is a Federal Cloud Computing pilot under development at NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley, California. The project began in Fall 2007 and operates under the direction of NASA Ames CIO Chris C. Kemp. 1] 2] 3] The Ames Internet Exchange which hosts the Nebula Cloud, was formerly MAEWest, one of the original nodes of the Internet, and is a major peering location for Tier 1 ISPs, as well as being the home of the E root name servers. Nebula also connects to CENIC and Internet2, at 10GigE connections. Nebula is a hybrid cloud that uses open data APIs for interoperability with commercial cloud providers, such as Amazon EC2 and Google App Engine.

Cloud

$93.99

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A cloud is a visible mass of droplets, in other words, little drops of water or frozen crystals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body. A cloud is also a visible mass attracted by gravity, such as masses of material in space called interstellar clouds and nebulae. Clouds are studied in the nephology or cloud physics branch of meteorology.On Earth the condensing substance is typically water vapor, which forms small droplets or ice crystals, typically 0.01 mm in diameter. When surrounded by billions of other droplets or crystals they become visible as clouds. Dense deep clouds exhibit a high reflectance (70 to 95) throughout the visible range of wavelengths. They thus appear white, at least from the top. Cloud droplets tend to scatter light efficiently, so that the intensity of the solar radiation decreases with depth into the gases, hence the gray or even sometimes dark appearance at the cloud base.

Local Interstellar Cloud

$103.56

The Local Interstellar Cloud, casually called the Local Fluff, is the interstellar cloud (roughly 30 light years across) through which the Solar System is currently moving. The Solar System entered the Local Interstellar Cloud at some time between 44,000 and 150,000 years ago and is expected to remain within it for another 10,000 to 20,000 years. The cloud has a temperature of about 6000 C, about the same temperature as the surface of the Sun. It is very thin, with 0.1 atoms per cubic centimeter.
