The Solar System
THE SOLAR SYSTEM The Origin of The Solar System BasicAdvanced Around 5,000 million years ago the remnant of an exploded giant star (called a supernova) began to clump together under the force of gravity. These clumps were very small to start with but slowly as they continued to be attracted to one another they grew, eventually forming a huge disc with a large concentration of matter at its centre. Smaller clumps formed on the outskirts which over time became the planets and their moons while the much larger clump of hydrogen and helium started to heat under the increasing pressure of its own gravity. This ball of heated gas began to glow as the increasing pressure turned the gas into plasma and nuclear fission began producing more and more elements. About 5,000 years later our solar system had formed. The gas cloud left after the supernova would have contained many elements including elements much too heavy to be produced in a star the size of ours. The main four elements present in order of abundance would have been Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen and silicon with hydrogen making up approximately 90% of the total matter. It would have only taken a small concentration of matter to form, which slowly began drawing the rest of the dust cloud into a rough central point through gravity over thousands of years. The cloud would begin to take the form of ball which is drawn into motion by the spin of the Milky Way, with the closest point to the centre of our galaxy moving faster collapsing the dust cloud. Newton’s Law of motion states that the conservation of angular momentum would cause...
British Commonwealth of Nations: Member States and Countries
The British Commonwealth of Nations Its Member States and Countries The Commonwealth of Nations, often referred to as the British Commonwealth, is one of the most unique and enduring international organizations in the world. Comprising member countries from every continent, this voluntary political association traces its roots back to the British Empire.

The Commonwealth of Nations is a voluntary association of countries bound together by shared history, language, and democratic values. While it began as an alliance of autonomous communities within the British Empire, it evolved into an international institution promoting development, education, and human rights. Today, the Commonwealth comprises 56 Commonwealth countries, including developed nations like New Zealand...
