Re: Belief in Earth's Iron Core still puzzling

My assumption on this matter based off of light research is that our star collected piles of dust and gas from the earlier stages of its life. Some of this dust and gas would likely be elements of heavier properties like iron created from dead and exploded stars.

By chance, our lucky star managed to collect a high iron content cloud other gases and dusts. considering the volume of space around the solar system relative to the size of the planets, this cloud must have been extremely dispersed.

I could expect that as this mixture of elements orbited the sun they formed into a series of rings, consisting mainly of one type of material. Not much different the look of saturns rings, and the gas separations on saturn and jupiter.

The heavier elements formed orbital rings nearer to the sun. Mars and Earth both contain a high level of iron, and it is interesting to note how close their orbital rings are... Which could suggest that this zone around the sun was a high Iron ring.

Although I don't know very much on the subject, it seems logical to me that the sun was formed by an entirely different area and cloud of dust...where later, it collected material for planets.

Interesting.. I think I will do a some studying in this area.. I don't know much about it myself.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
