    • 2 ferson who invented the big bang theory.
      alexander friedman and george lamaitre
    • 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.
