TOPIC -WHAT CAN ASTEROIDS AND COMETS TELL US ABOUT HOW THESOLAR SYSTEM FORMED INTRODUCTION Solar system has been formed according to the laws of chemistry and physics. Asteroidsare defined as materials having intermediate composition and they are situated between orbits ofJupiter and Mars. Comets are composed of frozen gasses such as Carbon dioxide, silicate dustand water ice (Nourian, Leong and Dey, 2014). Comets and Asteroids are considered as residualfrom the giant cloud of gas and dust that has played a major role in formation of solar system.With this, comets are defined as cloud belts that are part of fringe in the solar system. Collisionand gravitational tugs are accountable for sending the comets and the asteroids in the ellipticalorbit of sun and due to that sun moves towards highly elliptical orbits. BACKGROUND Formation of comets and asteroids tell us about the formation of solar system and theircreation pattern also depict about the ways through which solar system is being formed. Cometsare considered as structures formed with the water and Carbon dioxide and other frozen gases.Formation of solar system has taken place through the comets and asteroids (Parkin, 2017). Asper the research conducted by the scientists, fraction of large oceans have been formed throughseveral comets that have fallen on the earth. Various carbon components that are present incomets are responsible for contributing raw materials for formation of earth. RESULT Asteroids and comets are major bodies that are responsible for formation of solar system. Scientist study formation of Asteroids and comets to have understanding about origin andformation of solar system. Studies have shown that solar system has been formed from a rotatingclod composed of gas and dust. It has been estimated by scientists that are more than 750,000asteroids in the solar system. There are many asteroids having orbits which take them to movetowards closer to the solar system. 3
