Question

which of the following statements about the formation of the solar system is not accepted as true? the center of the early solar system was so hot, only rocky planets were able to sustain the heat. the solar system began from a spinning cloud of dust and gas. gravity pulled clumps of dust and gas together, which eventually formed the planets. the sun began as a large rocky planet, but as clumps of matter kept getting pulled toward it by gravity, it became much larger and hotter.

Explanation:

The sun formed from a collapsing cloud of gas and dust (a nebula) through gravitational collapse, not from a large rocky planet. The other statements about the solar - system formation are consistent with the nebular hypothesis. The center of the early solar system was hot, allowing only rocky planets to form nearby. The solar system originated from a spinning cloud of dust and gas, and gravity pulled clumps of this material together to form planets.

Answer:

The sun began as a large rocky planet, but as clumps of matter kept getting pulled toward it by gravity, it became much larger and hotter.
