If we talk about the Solar System, a lot of questions will come into your mind, like how it was created, when it was created, and more. It is hard to say and answer these questions without concrete evidence of how it was created. After the discussion about the theories on the origin of the solar system, I learned the age of the solar system and the different theories that could somehow answer my questions about the solar system.
Based on what I have learned in our discussion, the age of the solar system is approximately 4.45 billion years old. In our discussion, there are three theories about the origin of the Solar System. These are the Protoplanet Theory, the Encounter Hypothesis, and the Nebular Hypothesis. The theory that I believe the most is the Nebular Hypothesis. It was said to be the most accepted theory that explains the origin of the Solar System. The Nebular Hypothesis also explains why planets and stars usually spin in the same plane and direction, as well as the arrangement of the planets.
The discussion went well. I learned a lot about the theories on the origin of the Solar System. It was just amazing to think about and learn how the Solar System and the planets were created. I am looking forward to the next discussion and for my next blog about our solar system and the universe. This blog will end here. See you on the next blog!
