Question

which 2 statements below help support the solar nebula theory as the most accepted explanation of how our solar system formed? the inner planets are more dense and formed closer to the sun while the outer planets are less dense and formed farther from the sun the sun has a greater gravitational pull on the outer planets and less gravitational pull on the inner planets the planets all revolve around our sun in the same clockwise direction the planets all revolve around our sun in the same counter - clockwise direction the outer planets are more dense and the inner planets are less dense

Explanation:

The Solar Nebula Theory suggests the Solar - System formed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust. Inner planets formed closer to the Sun where heavier elements condensed, making them denser. Outer planets formed farther out with lighter elements, making them less dense. Also, the fact that planets revolve around the Sun in the same counter - clockwise direction (the direction of the original nebula's rotation) supports the theory.

Answer:

1. The Inner Planets are more dense and formed closer to the Sun while the Outer Planets are less dense and formed farther from the Sun
2. The planets all revolve around our Sun in the same counter - clockwise direction
