Where did planets made of mostly gas and ice form protoplanetary disk?

Far enough from the new Sun that they did not "evaporate". In other words,
towards the outer rim of the main part of the disk.

What is it called when planets are formed?
Accretion because usually they form from a protoplanetary accretion disk.
Are planets formed from the same clouds of gas and dust as stars?
Yes. As a new star is forming it is surrounded by a disk of gas and dust called a protoplanetary disk. Planets, asteroids, and comets all form from this disk.
Why are some planets near the sun and some others far from the sun?
Near (in order from closest to farthest): Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars Far (same order as before): Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Why? I suppose that's just how things worked out when the planets formed from the "protoplanetary disk". The planets have to be spaced apart enough to form stable orbits. Otherwise their mutual gravitational attraction could disrupt their orbits.
Will there ever be more planets?
In the words of my physics teacher 'Not in your lifetime!' Planets form from a disk of dust and gas when the star is just a proto-star. Planets cannot form after the star has been formed.
How did the planets and other objects in the solar system form out of material in a disk?
from when an objects crashed into earth and an chunk of rock form

How did Uranus form?
As best we know, the same way all the other planets did: accretion of objects in a protoplanetary disk.

Yes. As a new star is forming it is surrounded by a disk of gas and dust called a protoplanetary disk. Planets, asteroids, and comets all form from this disk.
What will the protoplanetary disks eventually become?
That depends what the disk is forming round. If it is a large black hole it will form a quasar, if it is round a star, it will form planets (a solar system).
What is the Alan Boss Theory?
The Alan Boss Theory suggests that giant planets like Jupiter form from the rapid accumulation of solid cores, followed by the accumulation of gas from the surrounding protoplanetary disk. This theory helps explain the formation of gas giant planets in our solar system and beyond.

What are the steps of the nebular theory?
The steps of the Nebular Theory consist of: The collapse of the nebula and formation of the protoplanetary disk and protosun. The condensation of planetessimals. The Accretion of planetessimals to form planet seeds. The Formation of Jovian planets through nebular capture and the solar wind of young sun clears away the remaining gas.
How do the planets of the solar system form?
Out of an accretion disk leftover from the solar nebula. Small particles bump together and collect until they form planets.

1 through 7 ebula shrinks to form a spinning disk?
A spinning disk is formed by the nebula shrinking is 4. The planets forming is 7. The planets form gas and dust accumulate as a nebula matter separates into galaxies. Nebula shrink to form a spinning disk,gravity pulls gases to the center of the disk .Gas at the center of the disk becomes hot and dense enough for nuclear fusion to begin
What caused dust clouds to form planets over time?
The spinning disk of dust that existed after the formation of the Sun caused dust clouds to form planets over time. Gravity caused the material to come together to form planets.
How did planets and other objects in solar system form out of material in a disk?
from when an objects crashed into earth and an chunk of rock form
