Step 1: Hydrogen, Helium, and Iron

-It is my theory that hydrogen, helium, and iron helps a planet form by:

These elements help make up many things and forms, keeps things alive, & makes things that are vital in the world.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Gwyneth C.

F1: Iron is in the core of the Earth. F2: Hydrogen is in the core of the Sun.

H.

Step 2: Suns and Stars

-It is my theory that Suns and Stars helps a planet form by:

By keeping the planets where they are so if a planet starts forming it will stay there and it can become really good.

*The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Kenzie

F1: Attracts the planets to stay because the large mass. F2: In one second the Sun loses 5 million tons of material.

Step 3: Asteroids and Meteors

-It is my theory that Asteroids and Meteors helps a planet form by:

Asteroids can crash into each other and start to form a planet that will evolve.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Jimmy G.

F1:If an asteroid more than one-half a mile landed on Earth then that would cause the largest known potentially hazardous asteroid disaster. F2: In the future will either form a ring around mars, or crash into Mars.

Step 4:Composition of Planets

-It is my theory that Composition of Planets helps a planet form by:

You need this because it will keep the planet safe & will help it evolve.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Ayah T.

F1: A planet needs all the layers to keep it growing. F2: There is the core, mantle, and crust.

Step 5: Layers of Planets

-It is my theory that layers of planets helps a planet form by:

Layers will help because if you dont have the layers you could dig down and there would be nothing.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Yousuf Q.

F1: Earth is made of three layers. F2: There are two cores the inner and the outer.

Step 6: Atmosphere

-It is my theory that Atmosphere helps a planet form by:

It will keep the planet safe and will protect it.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Zach H.

F1: Earths atmosphere is 300 miles thick. F2: Air pressure is about 14.7 pounds per square inch.

Step 7: Gravity

-It is my theory that Gravity helps a planet form by:

If things grow, they can stay there.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Maddy M.

F1: Gravity squeezes hard on matter to make stars burn. F2: F=G* (mM/r2) was the solution to gravity that Isaac Newton studies and found.

Step 8: Comets

-It is my theory that comets helps a planet form by:

Comets can crash into the new planet and help make the surface of the planet.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Raegan S.

F1: Made of Dust, Ice, & gas. F2: Comets have tails.

Step 9: Surface of Planets

-It is my theory that surface of planets helps a planet form by:

It provides things with trees and water and natural resources.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. An N.

F1: Different planets are made of different minerals. F2: Water on the surface is 90% salt water.

Step 10: Planetary Magnetic Fields

-It is my theory that planetary magnetic fields helps a planet form by:

Without the field, the sun would damage many things and ruin any chance of life.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Emma T.

F1: It is know that the axis of the magnetic field is tipped with respect to the rotation axis of the Earth. F2: The field is decaying rapidly.

The graham cracker is like the planetary magnetic field because it protects the chocolate and marshmallow.

Step 11: Water & Ice

-It is my theory that (insert A.B.C.) helps a planet form by:

Water is very important for survival and is vital for survival.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Omar F.

F1: Everyone needs water. F2: There is 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen in water aka H2O.

Step 12: Mass and Density

-It is my theory that mass and density helps a planet form by:

You need mass or nothing would exist.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Mark H.

F1: Mass is usually measured by kilograms . F2: Density is mass divided by volume.

Step 13: Moon and Other Orbiting Debris

-It is my theory that moons helps a planet form by:

The moon helps the tide and the Earth .

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Isabel S.

F1: Neptune has 13 moons. F2: After collision on Earth the moon began to orbit the Earth and clump together to orbit the moon.

Step 14: Supernova

-It is my theory that Supernova helps a planet form by:

Supernovas can create Nebulas which can create other planets of moons.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Isabel S.

F1: Can create Nebula which can create planets or moons. F2: There is more than one way of exploding.

Step 15: Nebula

-It is my theory that nebula helps a planet form by:

They can form other planets.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Grant R.

F1: Dark Nebulas are dense. F2: All Nebulas are outside of the milky way.

Step 16: Orbits and Satellites

-It is my theory that orbits and satellites helps a planet form by:

A planet needs orbits so things are even and satellites to know what is around the planet.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. George B.

F1: Satellites are things that orbit something else. F2: Three types of orbits are polar orbits, sun synchronous orbits, and geosynchronous orbits.

Step 17: Electrometric Radiation

-It is my theory that Electrometric Radiation helps a planet form by:

It will help you connect, save energy, and help you communicate.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Iain M.

F1: Electromagnetic Waves are fed by a feeding norm like antenna. F2: Many people think electromagnetic radiation is bad at this point.

Step 18: Kepler

-It is my theory that Kepler helps a planet form by:

It will observe things so you can know if there are other planets and if they are habitable.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Lindsey P.

F1: When a star passes in front of a planet the star blends slightly. F2: The Kepler was launched on March 6, 2009, with the Delta II rocket carrying it.

Step 19: Black hole

-It is my theory that black holes helps a planet form by:

Black holes could protect the planet by sucking up really bad things or it could get rid of other bad things.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Nate V.

F1: A black hole is made up of matter packed together very tightly. F2: Black holes have a gravitational field that is so strong even light cannot escape it.

Step 20: and

-It is my theory that Volcanos and Earthquakes helps a planet form by:

Volcanos and Earthquakes will form the continents, surface ,and more.

* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Ava K.

F1: Fresh volcanic ash is made of pulverized rock. F2: Earthquakes involve the powerful movement of rocks in the Earths crust. The rapid release of energy creates seismic waves that travel through the earth.

Leading scientists theory of planet formation:

The information below is the only time I used the internet for this project, other than when I researched my own A.B.C. (Astronomically Baffling Concept.) The

information is copied directly from http://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/focus-areas/what-powered-the-big-bang . Their theory of how a planets forms is:

This is what they kind of said- Space rocks violently hit each other at very fast speeds lighting up the sky and formed a bigger rock which continued to get hit, over and over.

Theories compared and conclusion: 1. My theory is similar to http://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/focus-areas/what-powered-the-big-bang/ theory in the following ways: I think that asteroids and meteoroids hit each other very hard and formed a large rock that continued to get hit until the planet formed and there is layers. 2. My theory is different tohttp://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/focus-areas/what-powered-the-big-bang/ theory in the following ways. I dont really think anything different happened.

3. In conclusion, the steps in this booklet are my overall theory of how a planets forms!
