When the solar system was created planets were formed from the ten percent of matter left over from a nebula?

No. The planets make up about a tenth of a percent of the mass of the solar system. Not ten percent. Ten percent of the sun's mass would be enough to make a red dwarf star.


What is the formula for converting a number in to a percent?

You can make the proportion into a percent by dividing the numerator by the denominator and then moving the decimal point two spaces over to the right. That's your percent. Also if the denominator is a factor of 100, you can set it to a hundred. Example: 2/5=40/100. So the percent is 40%, the numerator over 100.


What 3 gases make up earths atmosphere?

Gosh, three? There are two primary constituents of the earth's atmosphere. Nitrogen makes up about 78% of it, and oxygen makes up about 21% of it. In the event you don't have your calculator, that's about 99% of the atmosphere. The other gases present and their quantities are: argon - 0.934%, carbon dioxide - 0.038%, water vapor - about 1%, and all the others make up about 0.002%. The latter half of the information is mined from Wikipedia. A link is supplied to our friends there. Surf on over to review and gather more factiods.Oxygen, Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide


What happen to the pressure as the temperature decrase?

If allowed to do work on the surroundings, the temperature will decrease as the pressure decreases. If expanded against a vacuum or adiabatically, most gases will get colder. At room temperature, all gases except hydrogen, helium, and neon cool upon expansion by the Joule-Thomson process; these three gases experience the same effect but only at lower temperatures; when starting at room those three gases will actually WARM when expanded across a valve.
