how is the formation of the solar system related to the big bang?
a. the expansion of the solar system caused the big bang
b. the solar system formed about 9 billion years after the big bang
c. the solar system formed during the dark ages directly after the big bang
d. the solar system was formed before the big bang created the first stars
b. the solar system formed about 9 billion years after the big bang
The formation of the solar system is related to the big bang because the big bang was the event that resulted in the creation of the universe around 13.8 billion years ago. The solar system, including the Sun, planets, and other celestial bodies, formed much later as a result of the collapse of a giant molecular cloud about 4.6 billion years ago. So, the solar system formed billions of years after the big bang.
