What is the solar theory?

Answer 1

The solar nebula theory, also known as the nebular hypothesis, is the most widely accepted model explaining the formation and evolution of our solar system. It was originally applied to our solar system only but, this method of planetary system formation is now thought to hold true throughout the universe. The modern variant that is most accepted is the Solar Nebular Disk Model (SNDM).

According to SNDM stars form in massive, dense clouds of molecular hydrogen called giant molecular clouds(GMC). These clouds are gravitationally unstable, and matter coalesces into smaller, denser clumps inside. These clouds collapse and form stars. This can give birth to planets under the right circumstances, which are not fully understood. So, the formation of planetary systems is thought to be a natural result of star formation. The process is thought to take at least 100 million years.
