Question

classify each event that occurs during the formation of a single star according to whether it is the result of the stars original gas cloud having some amount of spin. result from rotating gas cloud: rapidly rotating star, formation of a disk around the star, orbit of planets in a common plane around the star. do not result from rotating gas cloud: formation of polar jets, gravitational heating, globular cluster formation. answer bank

Explanation:

The spin of the original gas - cloud leads to conservation of angular momentum. This causes the formation of a disk around the star as the gas collapses. Planets form in this disk and tend to orbit in a common plane due to the disk's structure. A rapidly rotating star can also result from the initial spin of the gas - cloud. Polar jets are related to the magnetic fields and outflows from the protostar, not directly to the rotation of the gas - cloud. Gravitational heating is due to the gravitational collapse of the gas - cloud, not its rotation. Globular cluster formation is related to the aggregation of stars in a dense region, not the rotation of an individual star's gas - cloud.

Answer:

Result from rotating gas cloud: rapidly rotating star, formation of a disk around the star, orbit of planets in a common plane around the star
Do not result from rotating gas cloud: formation of polar jets, gravitational heating, globular cluster formation
