I know that there was all that matter and energi and then the dustclouds. Also that the cloud began whirling, and THEN the sun appeared. But how did the sun come from that? Everything i’ve read just say that it suddenly appeared. I need help
In: Physics
So you start with a bunch of hydrogen gas, moving around more or less randomly. Each atom of hydrogen attracts each other atom of hydrogen gravitationally. They’re like trillions of magnets, all attracting each other. Although the force of attraction is incredibly weak.
Eventually you get enough hydrogen gas in one place, that those trillions of magnets start working together and pulling towards the center of the gas. If you’re an atom in the center, you’re getting pulled equally in all directions, so you stay put. If you’re an atom on one side of the gas cloud, then there are more atoms to the other side, so you’re pulled toward the center.
They pull toward the center… as they pull, you get more and more atoms in the center. Eventually these atoms “congeal” and you get a sun at the center.
