The twin star theory is one of many theories about the formation and evolution of the
solar system. This theory was proposed by British astronomer R.A. Lyttleton, in 1956.
According to this theory the solar system was originally formed from 2 giant twin stars. Then,
one of the stars of the twin star exploded to produce debris and dust. Until finally it evolved
around the other star (the sun) and formed planets and other heavenly bodies. Because the star
that does not disappear still has strong gravity, the debris is not attracted into the sun but moves
around it. Until finally the pieces of dust from the explosion had fused and twisted until finally
forming a planet. While the rocks from the debris of exploding stars spin and form asteroid
orbits. This theory refers to the results of research that proves that in other solar systems there are
twin stars. So Lyttelton believes that the origin of our solar system is the result of the explosion
of 2 twin stars. Where one star explodes and forms a member of the solar system. While that is
not destroyed is the center of the solar system.
The next theory of the origin of the solar system is the theory of cloud clouds or planetary
proto, proposed by Carl von Weizsaecker and perfected by Gerard P. Kuiper around 1950. Fog
cloud theory states that the solar system is formed by a large number of gas clouds. The cloud of
gas shrinks and pulls the dust particles into a ball. Then everything was twisted so that the lump
of ball turned into a disk. In the middle of the disc the rotation is slow so that the pressure and
heat increase. That part of the land turns into the sun. At the edge of the disc, rotation occurs
quickly. So that formed clumps with smaller sizes. The lumps then turn into planets, asteroids,
meteors or meteors, comets and natural satellites that accompany the planet.
