GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Kant argued that gaseous clouds he called nebulae would slowly rotate and collapse under their own gravity, and flatten out into a disc. He argued that these flattened regions eventually formed stars and planets.

Detailed explanation-2: -Immanuel Kant, familiar with Swedenborg’s work, developed the theory further in 1755, publishing his own Universal Natural History and Theory of the Heavens, wherein he argued that gaseous clouds (nebulae) slowly rotate, gradually collapse and flatten due to gravity, eventually forming stars and planets.

Detailed explanation-3: -Approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was a cloud of dust and gas known as a solar nebula. Gravity collapsed the material in on itself as it began to spin, forming the sun in the center of the nebula.
