They are collapse (gravitational disturbance), condensation of matter, and accretion of major bodies. Smaller bodies may continue to accrete, break up, or be absorbed by larger masses.

The 6 stages of formation are:

1. Solar Nebula

2. Planetesimals Form

3. Planetesimals accrete into protoplanets

4. Terrestrial Planets form

5. Gas Giants Form

6. Formation or organization of smaller objects (moons, asteroids, comets)

In stage 1, a nebula is compressed by gravitational disturbances, which concentrates mass in some areas. Nearby dust and gas is drawn in and begins to collect into a spinning disk shape. Enough mass collects to compress hydrogen nuclei and initiate fusion.

In stages 2 and 3, small grains of matter accrete within the disk to form planetesimals, and then larger protoplanets. Some will collide and merge, others will be broken up.

In stage 4 to 6, planets clear out their orbits. Material moving too quickly near the edge cannot be drawn in closer, but can coalesce into objects (ice planets and comets).

Are nebulaes in the solar system?

No. A nebula is generally much larger than a solar system. We believe that our sun and solar system came to be when a nebula collapsed under the influence of gravity, and the gas of the nebula became the Sun and our planets - and everything else.
