Closure Question Why did the solar nebula begin to collapse to form the sun and planets if the forces of pressure and gravity were balanced?
6
Conclusion Answer An external force, perhaps from a collision with another nebula or from a nearby exploding star, pushed inward on the nebula. This force was strong enough to overcome the pressure of the nebula and trigger its collapse.
