Learning Objectives

1. Visualize how gravity condenses a cooling solar nebula of gas and dust into a dense star, surrounded by a rotating disk of proto-planetary material.

2. Connect the uniformity of the planets' orbits and axial tilts to a common origin.

3. Motivate the rocky composition of the Terrestrial planets with their central positions, near to the hot Sun.

4. Explain the large gas components of the Jovian planets as a function of their cooler environment and larger sweeping radii.

5. Understand the role that radioactive dating plays in determining the ages of various bodies in the solar system.
