Process of Science: In order for us to understand how the solar system got to be that way it is, we must identify the major solar system patterns that our formation theory must explain
Name 3 patterns of motion or planetary arrangement/location that our theory should be able to explain.
1. Planets orbit in the same direction.
2. Orbital direction is the same direction as the Sun's spin.
3. Most planets spin the same direction that they orbit.
4. Bigger planets are in the outer solar system.
5. Large planets have many moons.
6. Planets lie in approximately the same plane.
