Detailed explanation-1: -The nebular theory states that our solar system formed from the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar gas cloud-the solar nebula. – (Nebula is the Latin word for cloud.) Kant and Laplace proposed the nebular hypothesis over two centuries ago. A large amount of evidence now supports this idea.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Development of Nebular Theory 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-3: -The solar nebular hypothesis describes the formation of our solar system from a nebula cloud made from a collection of dust and gas. It is believed that the sun, planets, moons, and asteroids were formed around the same time around 4.5 billion years ago from a nebula.
