Step 1: Iron, Hydrogen, and Helium

F1: Hydrogen is most abundant element in universe.

F2: Hydrogen and Helium are burned by stars to create energy(fusion).

-It is my theory that Iron, Hydrogen, and Helium helps create planets because Iron is needed for magnetic
fields, Hydrogen is needed for stars and water, and helium creates stars.

time.

Step 9: Layers of Planets

F1: Inner core keeps everything stable
F2: Unstable mantles make the crust too hot or too cold

-It is my theory that Layers of Planets helps a planet form by: if you have a unstable mantle or inner core, you
would not be able to sustain life so you have to have Layers of Planets.
-(Leave a space here for something else you will add later. )

Step 10: Surface of Planets

F1: Surface that life needs-iron, oxygen, silicone, magnesium, sulfur, nickel, etc.

-It is my theory that Surface of Planets helps a planet form by: having a good, life sustaining Surface for your
planet is really important.
-(Leave a space here for something else you will add later. )
* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Paige H.

Step 11: Atmospheres

F1: Our atmosphere is 20% oxygen about 75% nitrogen and 1 or 2% other gasses.
F2: If you want a planet to sustain life it would have to around 92.96 million miles

from their sun.

-It is my theory that Atmospheres helps a planet form by: protecting our planet from dangerous outer space
and the sun.
-(Leave a space here for something else you will add later. )
* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Greyson B.

Step 12: Magnetic Fields

F1: A planets magnetic field forms a shield protecting the planets surface from

energetic, charged particles coming from the Sun and other places
F2: Created by Iron

-It is my theory that Magnetic Fields helps a planet form by: protecting planets surface from Sun and other
places.
-(Leave a space here for something else you will add later. )
* The information on this page was researched by: M.A. Zayn Y.

Step 13: Mass & Density

F1: Measure of the amount of matter in an object is mass
F2: Solids, liquids affect density(mass/volume)

-It is my theory that Mass & Density helps a planet form by: you have to have mass to create planet with
weight, and density helps create stable cores.

Step 14: Electromagnetic Radiation

F1: Electromagnetic energy is energy released by stars
F2: All of the energy travels in waves

-It is my theory that Electromagnetic Radiation helps a planet form by: Electromagnetic energy is the energy
that gives us life from stars, so we need that.

Step 15: Asteroids and Meteors

F1: Meteors-Anything larger than a mile could have worldwide effects. The largest

known potentially hazardous asteroid is Toutatis.

it can possibly release chemicals that may help your planet evolve as in the case of the dinosaurs.

F1: A moon is something that orbits a planet and has its own gravitational pull
F2: Moons surface is rich with iron and magnesium

-It is my theory that Moon(s) & Any Orbiting Debris helps a planet form by: Moons have their own gravitational pull, so maybe
our planet could benefit from learning about our moons and knowing how the moons core reacts. (Knowledge is Power)

Leading scientists theory of planet

formation:
The information below is the only time I used the internet for this project,
other than when I researched my own A.B.C. (Astronomically Baffling
Concept.) The information is copied directly from (Space.com). Their theory
of how a planets forms is: Earth'srocky coreformed first, with heavy
elements colliding and binding together. Dense material sank to the center,
while the lighter pieces created the crust. The planet's magnetic field
probably formed around this time. Gravity captured some of the lighter
elements that make up the planet's early atmosphere.

Theories compared and

conclusion:

1. My theory is similar to (Space.com) theory in the following ways: I also had heavy
elements binding together to form the earths core.

2. My theory is different to (Space.com) theory in the following ways: Their theory

started with a nebula, while my theory started with Iron, Hydrogen, and Helium and
those elements created a nebula.

the steps in this booklet are my overall theory

of how a planets forms!
