  • The explosion sent space, time, matter and energy in all directions.
    • This event is called “big bang”
  • All the matter and energy in the universe are crammed into a tiny compact point sometimes called

    singularity
  • short ranged (10-13 cm) attractive force which binds the nucleus.

    strong force
  • long range force that binds atoms which can either be attractive or repulsive
    electromagnetic force
  • short ranged force present in radioactive decay.
    weak force
  • weak, long ranged, and attractive force which binds the Solar system.
    gravitational force
  • theory that proposed that the planets were formed by the collision of the sun with a giant comet
    buffon's collision theory
  • who proposed the tidal theory?
    jeans-jeffreys tidal theory
  • refer to the gravitational forces exerted by one celestial body on another, especially in cases where one body is significantly more massive than the other.
    tidal forces
  • According to the theory, planets was formed from materials pulled out in the sun.
    jeans-jeffrey's tidal theory
  • proposed  the nebular theory?
    kant-laplace theory
  • the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy.
    nuclear fusion
  • The first star are formed from contraction of gases and nuclear fusion.
  • The Earth is approximately an oblate spheroid, meaning it is mostly spherical but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.
