1) Evidence is strong that the formation of the Sun (and its family of planets) happened by the same processes as the formation of stars. Explain.
2) How are planets detected around other stars?
3) Did the Sun and solar system form in the first half or last half of our galaxy’s history? Explain.
4) Compare the stars found in the galactic disk (where the Sun is located) with the stars in the halo of our galaxy.
This solution provides a detailed answer regarding the formation of the stars, formation of the sun, planet detection around stars, and stars in the galactic disk and the halo of our Milky Way galaxy.
