The Passing Star TheoryThis theory shows that there was the Star and the sun.
The earth came to the existence as a result of another
star of higher gravitational force passing close to the
sun and drawing some materials from it .
According to this proportion, the passing star sucked
some gases from the sun due to its greater
gravitational attraction.
Subsequently due to remoteness from the source of all
energy in the solar system, the gases cooled and
formed this great entities comprising today's planet
and other heavenly bodies .
Weaknesses Of The Passing Star Theory
1.The earth's temperature is 5000°c _6000°c ,hence
the materials reaped from the sun would disperse
rather than crystallise
2.It does not tell us where the star and the sun came
from
