Which of the following objects is the most similar to a white dwarf star?

• A nebula

• A main sequence star

• The core of a red giant

• a protostar

What process created the plantesimals (the young version of our planets)?

• Accretion of particles in the solar nebula

• Gravitational pull between the sun and the planets

• The solar wind that blew dust to the outer edge of the solar system

• Nuclear fusion

the planets of the solar system formed as

• planetary cloud
• White Dwarf cloud
• planetary nebula
• expanding nebula

The process of planet building is called

• planetary nebula

• planetary collapse

• planetary accretion

• planetary rotation
