15)Based on the information found in modules 2.1 , 2.2 AND 2.3 put the following statements about the formation of the Solar system based on the NEBULAR HYPOTHESIS in the correct order from 1. ‘’OLDEST EVENT’’ (first to form according to the Nebular hypothesis) to 5. ‘’YOUNGEST EVENT’’ (Last to form in the Solar system, based on the sequence of events listed) . • Clusters of molten metals and dust particles stuck together to form rocks • Lighter gases were swept away from center of solar system into outer solar system • One to two proto-planets collide to form our Moon • Mutual gravity caused rocks to come together, eventually to form protoplanets • Heavier rocky material, with metallics with higher melting points are left nearer to sun
