Big Bang Theory It started as a single point called “SINGULARITY.” Singularity is infinite mass with zero volume; therefore, it has infinite density. Thus, the universe began as an infinitely hot and dense single point. This single point appeared from nowhere for reasons unknown.
Steady State / Infinite Universe Theory
Pulsating Universe Theory In this theory, it is assumed that there is continuous expansion and contraction in the universe. It proposes that the universe will keep expanding more and more then slowly it stop. Then it will start to contract due to gravitation. This contraction will continue until the universe becomes more compact and will later explode and expand again.
SOLAR SYSTEM
is the gravitationally
bound system
comprising the Sun and
the objects that orbit
around it, either
- (^) The large mass of these planets comes from their absolute sizes, not their densities.
- (^) The inner planets are by far the most dense.
TERRESTRIAL (Inner Planets)
- (^) made of materials with high melting points such as silicates, iron , and nickel
- (^) rotate slower, have thin or no atmosphere Mercury Venus Earth Mars
