Question 7 • 2001310 Earth Science Sem 1 - Pearson

Which statement accurately describes planetesimals?

Answer
A
They are the origins of planets.
B
They formed from ice and rocks.
C
They were created during the big bang.
D
They contain 98% of matter in the solar system.

Explanation

Planetesimals are small solid bodies that formed in the early solar system and gradually combined through collisions and gravity to build planets. That makes “They are the origins of planets” the best description. Their materials can include rock and ice, but that is not as defining as their role in forming planets.
