How did a supernova contribute to the formation of the solar system? A. A supernova contributed to the formation of the solar system in two ways. The supernova triggered the collapse of a nebula, causing the materials of that nebula to heat up and increase rotation rate, leading to the formation of the structures of the solar system, including the Sun, planets, moon and meteorites. The supernova also released heavier elements that became part of the structures of the solar system, including the rocky planets.
B. A supernova contributed to the formation of the solar system in one way. The supernova triggered the collapse of a nebula, causing the materials of that nebula to heat up and increase rotation rate, leading to the formation of the structures of the solar system, including the Sun, planets, moon and meteorites.
C. A supernova did not contribute to the formation of the solar system.
D. A supernova contributed to the formation of the solar system in one way. The supernova released heavier elements that became part of the structures of the solar system, including the rocky planets.
