How are nebulae related to the formation of planetary systems like the solar system?

Solar systems are formed by nebulae. The larger pieces of dust and other materials attract the smaller ones, get bigger, and attract even more pieces of random things, and so on, until a star and sometimes planets are eventually formed.

What is Cloud of dust and gas?
A cloud of dust and gas is a collection of tiny solid particles and various gases, often found in space. These clouds can be the birthplaces of stars and planetary systems as gravity causes the particles to clump together and form denser regions. They're commonly referred to as "nebulae," and they come in various types such as molecular clouds, reflection nebulae, and emission nebulae.
Who were the first planetary systems to form in the Milky Way Galaxy?
Scientists don't know. We have only discovered a few hundred of the probable billions of planetary systems in this galaxy.
What are three structures in the universe to which earth belongs?
clusters of galaxies, galaxies, planetary systems, solar systems
How is earth's composition related to the big bang?
The Earth's composition is more relevant to the the Nebular Hypothesis for the formation of solar systems is more appropriate to explain the origin of planets. However, the Big Bang creation event did provide for the matter and energy which eventually facilitated the formation of black holes, galaxies, solar systems and then the planets.
How types of mountain landforms are related to one another?
In this type of land formation, a range is a group of mountains, a chain is a group of mountain ranges, and a belt is a group of mountain ranges and systems.
Which is biggest a planetary nebula a planetary system or a galaxy?
The galaxis are bigger than planetary nebulae, that are bigger than planetary systems.
What is the name for someone who studies planetary systems?
Someone who studies planetary systems is called a planetary scientist

Are there other planetary systems around other stars?
Yes. Many stars have planetary systems.
What does gravity do in the milky way galaxy?
It holds all the material in the galaxy together. It also contains gas and dust clouds which collapse, under the influence of gravity, into stellar nebulae from which new stars, and possibly planetary systems are born.
Is it possible to theorize about the formation of the solar system because no other planetary systems can be observed?
There's a flaw in the premise here: hundreds of other systems have been detected. However, the information available about just one (our own) is sufficient to speculate on genesis.
What do you call the study of solar systems?
Planetary science.
Who were the first planetary systems to form in the Milky Way Galaxy?
Scientists don't know. We have only discovered a few hundred of the probable billions of planetary systems in this galaxy.
Name three different kinds of solar systems?
Dusty Disk Systems, Hot Jupiter Systems, Non-planetary systems.
What are three structures in the universe to which earth belongs?
clusters of galaxies, galaxies, planetary systems, solar systems
What does nebular hypothesis explain?
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 that the Solar System formed from nebulous material.
What is the dividing number in order to have the number of planetary systems in a galaxy or cloud?
1.11111111.
