The same way the light elements collected there, Mitch.

Burt Those hydrogen helium clouds needed the help of metal molecules
to get gravity compression force working efficiently. Stars came first than dust of heavy elements to create solid cores,and the larger the core gave their gravity a force to hold the extra gas in this accretion disk to form around their cores Jupiter core is 15 times more massive that the whole Earth. It has an atmosphere of hydrogen,and helium. Just bring your own oxygen,and you could do welding. go figure TreBert |

It's not like the earth was a bb that gradually captured some gases from across the Universe... I think all elements were there in the beginning in the spiralling cloud of dust andgasout of which the Earth and other planets formes. The Earth had lots ofgasin 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? Mitch Raemsch According to the mainstream version, which seems to be supported a bit by observations of other stellar systems, as the original cloud condenses to form a growing central core, some of the matter in the cloud, mostly the lighter gases and a few of the heavier elements, form an "accretion disk" around the condensing protostar core. It is the relatively slow spinning motion of the cloud, or actually an orbital motion around the core of the baby protostar, that is supposed to be the reason that the disk gets flatter and flatter. The way this is supposed to happen is explained using vectors. There are three vectors involved. Suppose we focus upon a bit of matter in the cloud that is outside the core and, say, at a 45 degree angle off the rotating core's equatorial plane. The three directions of movement are said to be... 1) one vector directly toward the core that represents "radial velocity", 2) one vector at a ninety-degree angle from the core that represents "orbital velocity", and 3) one vector pointing in the direction of, and perpendicular to, the protostar's equatorial plane. The #3 vector above is very small, but grows larger as the bit of matter gets closer to the protostar's equatorial plane. And this #3 vector represents the bit of matter's tendency to gather with other bits of matter in or near the plane of the protostar's equator. Challenge... This mainstream model cannot explain the very puzzling distribution of angular momentum in our Solar system. In the Solar system as we see it today, the Sun contains 99.9% of the total mass of the system, while all the rest of the system, planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, etc., make up only about 0.1% of the total system's mass. So the Sun has about 750 times the mass of the entire rest of the Solar system. The angular momentum is the other way around. Today's Sun has only about 2% of the total angular momentum of our Solar system. The rest of the planets, asteroids, etc., possess the other 98%. So the Sun only has 1/50 of the total angular momentum. It gets even better... To satisfy the conservation of angular momentum, the actual initial rotation rate of the Sun would need to have been roughly 700 times the planets' combined angular momentum. So just to get even with the planets the Sun would have to be rotating 50 times faster than it actually is rotating. To satisfy the law of the conservation of angular momentum, it would have started rotating 700 times faster than that. That means that the Sun's initial rotation rate was 35,000 times it present rate. Now the Sun is presently rotating at one revolution per 25.38 Earth days, so a rotation rate that is 35,000 times faster than at present produces an initial period of revolution of 1 minute and 2.65 seconds. And it keeps getting better... According to the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, the equatorial rotational velocity is 2.0578 km/s, which means that the initial equatorial rotational velocity would be 72,023 km/s or nearly a quarter the speed of light! And better and better... The sun's surface escape velocity is 617.23 km/s, which is 116.7 times smaller than the initial equatorial rotational velocity of 72,023 km/s. The result is that the sun would have literally flown apart. That is, of course, assuming it formed that way to begin with, which it could not have done. There must have been a balancing factor. So the mainstream model has this big challenge of telling us WHAT HAPPENS and WHY... Why and how does material form a disk around a condensing protostar, and why and how does the material in the disk attain such a high level of angular momentum as compared with the protostar? We must depart from the mainstream model while still paying very close attention to observations of other stellar systems that are still forming. Spectral observations show that the protoplanetary disk around a collapsing protostar contains pretty much the same makeup as the protostar... mostly hydrogen and helium with trace amounts of lithium and other heavier elements. And likely not enough heavy elements to form several planets. It is the spinning of the protostar and the disk that provides the #3 directional vector described above. But this force is very tiny, and at first, only the lighter gas molecules are pulled toward the equatorial plane in any quantity. The protostar continues to collapse, and like a skater whose arms are slowly pulled in toward the body, the angular momentum of the protostar increases and it spins faster and faster. The above argument about the conservation of angular momentum shows that the protostar is capable of spinning so fast, that the speed of rotation at the equator can easily exceed the escape velocity of the protostar. It can also be deduced that the vast majority of the heavier elements in the collapse of the protostar will reside inside the protostar, and by virtue of their weight, these heavier elements will migrate and congregate at or near the equatorial surface of the rapidly spinning protostar. So when the equator speeds up past the escape velocity, material at the equator, mostly all the heavier elements that reside there, will be expelled violently outward from the protostar's equator. This acts as a balance by slowing the rotation of the protostar. And the angular momentum has transferred to the materials that escaped the protostar. Then the protostar continues to collapse and condense, and to spin faster and faster. Once again the escape velocity is reached at the equator and POOF! More material, mostly heavier elements, fan out from the protostar in its equatorial plane. And again, more of the angular momentum is transferred to the new disk material and the protostar's spin slows down. This process of faster spin, expelling heavy material, and then slower spin may repeat itself several times before the protostar reaches the point that it "fuses" (begins to burn the light gas, hydrogen) and becomes a true star. This series of expulsions of matter from the protostar's equator takes perhaps a few million years, and it gives strength to the #3 vector so that, by the force of gravity, those elements above and below the equatorial plane of the protostar move even more vigorously toward the disk than before. Collisions of the heavier elements form larger and larger, fast-spinning objects. And finally, we get to the great climax of this Solar-system-forming process... The protostar fuses and becomes a true star. It has condensed enough so that its core begins to burn the light gas, hydrogen, transforming it into helium, and in a few million years the energy makes it to the outer surface of the star. When this finally happens, a violent eruption of tiny particles and energy quanta explode out from the star to become the "Solar Wind". This blows all the remaining light elements and small bits of matter dust outward. Awaiting this mostly hydrogen and helium matter are huge, solid planets that gather these gases to form their atmospheres. Viola! These large masses become the "gas giants". Closer in to the new star we find maybe two to five smaller masses orbiting the new star. These are too tiny to retain any hydrogen or helium, but large enough that their positions are little if any affected by the power of the Solar wind. Viola! These smaller masses become the inner, rock planets. Everything, all of the objects in the disk, have an angular momentum that, when added to all the rest, is extremely high compared with that of the new star, and the baby star spins very slowly. The disk objects are orbiting and going around the new star, while spinning very, very fast on their axes. The "day" for these objects is probably a period of 6-8 hours or less. Then, over billions of years, some of these spins are slowed by tidal interactions with the Sun and/or with the orbits of satellites that may have formed with, or been caught by, or otherwise became companions to some of the planets. Maybe one of these planets orbits within a narrow zone around the new star, a zone where it's not too cold, not too hot, so that water can exist mostly as a liquid. Such a planet, one with some ice, some evaporation, and with mostly liquid water, becomes habitable. So several of the elements that were once part of the star might get together in special ways to form living things. Billions of years later... Viola! Here we be! We are beings who not only LIVE, are ALIVE, but who are able to ask HOW? and WHY? and WHAT HAPPENED? Here we are! I think it's amazing we've gotten this far, don't you? g happy days and... starry starry nights! -- Indelibly yours, Paine Ellsworth P.S.
