Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The nebular theory, or nebular hypothesis, was first proposed by Swedish philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg in 1734.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Comets, asteroids, and meteorites discovered on Earth provide evidence to support the nebular theory. Some criticisms of the nebula theory, however, include: The distribution of angular momentum between the sun and the planets was unexplainable and nebulous.
Detailed explanation-4: -An explanation for the backward, or retrograde, rotation is not certain. A long-held theory is that Venus once rotated as the other planets do, but was struck billions of years ago by a planet-size object. The impact and its aftermath caused the rotation to change directions or flipped the planetary axis.
