Detailed explanation-1: -Comets, asteroids, and meteorites discovered on Earth provide evidence to support the nebular theory.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following pieces of evidence supports the nebular hypothesis? The Solar System is relatively flat. Disks of gas and dust exist around other stars. What method has been used to discover the most exoplanets to date?
Detailed explanation-4: -The nebular hypothesis is the most widely accepted model in the field of cosmogony to explain the formation and evolution of the Solar System (as well as other planetary systems). It suggests the Solar System is formed from gas and dust orbiting the Sun which clumped up together to form the planets.
