Planets form by a process called ____
A
accretion
B
dark matter interactions
C
electromagnetic radiation
D
sun-dropping
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Summary. In planetary science, accretion is the process in which solids agglomerate to form larger and larger objects, and eventually planets are produced. The initial conditions are a disc of gas and microscopic solid particles, with a total mass of about 1% of the gas mass.

Detailed explanation-2: -In astrophysics, accretion is the accumulation of particles into a massive object by gravitationally attracting more matter, typically gaseous matter, in an accretion disk. Most astronomical objects, such as galaxies, stars, and planets, are formed by accretion processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Accretion theory The Sun passes through a dense interstellar cloud and emerges surrounded by a dusty, gaseous envelope. The problem is that of getting the cloud to form the planets. The terrestrial planets can form in a reasonable time, but the gaseous planets take far too long to form.
