Kant hypothesized that as clumps of matter increased in size/mass, so did their ____
A
weight and density
B
magnetic field
C
gravitational field
D
temperature
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Gaseous Hypothesis suggests that the Solar System formed from gas and dust orbiting the Sun. The theory was developed by Immanuel Kant and published in his Allgemeine Naturgeschichte und Theorie des Himmels ("Universal Natural History and Theory of the Heavens"), in 1755.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nebular hypothesis is the idea that a spinning cloud of dust made of mostly light elements, called a nebula, flattened into a protoplanetary disk, and became a solar system consisting of a star with orbiting planets [12].

Detailed explanation-3: -The Nebular Theory would have started with a cloud of gas and dust, most likely left over from a previous supernova. The nebula started to collapse and condense; this collapsing process continued for some time. The Sun-to-be collected most of the mass in the nebula’s center, forming a Protostar .

Detailed explanation-4: -solar nebula, gaseous cloud from which, in the so-called nebular hypothesis of the origin of the solar system, the Sun and planets formed by condensation. Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg in 1734 proposed that the planets formed out of a nebular crust that had surrounded the Sun and then broken apart.

Detailed explanation-5: -The steps to nebular theory go as follows. Nebula becomes a solar nebula as a region within the cloud of gas and dust condenses into a core and forms a protostar. The condensing material could have been caused by a nearby supernova shockwave. The material surrounding the protostar collapses into an accretion disk.
