Next time you make a fire, set a stone in it for an hour, or so.

When the flames die-down, place a leaf on the stone.

Imagine the stone being as large as The Moon, its gravity hugging all the
byproducts of that thermal transfer...

How long did solar system formation take?

Millions or billions of years?

Mitch Raemsch


Evidence like craters on planet Selene (the Moon)
suggest that the Solar System was pretty much in
its present form about 4 billion years ago. So, to
use a total age of 4.5 billion years, it would be safe
to say that it took something less than 500 million
years for the Solar System to form. Most scientists
agree that it only took a few million years.

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

It's not like the earth was a bb that gradually captured some gases from
across the Universe...

There had to be large metal rock gravitational seeds to start the ball
rolling and capture the gas giants atmospheres. Metal-rock seems to be
standard for both type of planet.

I think all elements were there in the beginning in the spiralling
cloud of dust and gas out of which the Earth and other planets
formes. The Earth had lots of gas in the biggining, but being so
close to the Sun, lost much of it over time due to the solar wind and
the Earth's relatively modest gravity. However, its magnetic field
did help it keep as much atmosphere as it has.

How did the heavy elements all gather in the solar plane?
