the solar system
I think you mean "protoplanet hypothesis". In fact, astronomers usually call it the Nebular Hypothesis A protoplanet is a planet-like object that hasn't fully developed into a planet. Why that hypothesis? It's because it is the best we have to describe the origin of the solar system according to the Laws of Physics.
No one was around at the time, so we're not really sure, but the current hypothesis in favor is called the "Giant Impact Hypothesis." It posits that a protoplanet about the same size as the current planet Mars struck the proto-Earth while it was still forming, and "splashed" a lot of rock off. This eventually formed the Moon, while the rest of this protoplanet (named Theia) joined with the Earth.
The "hypothesis" would be a statement of what you were trying to discover or prove.
The hypothesis states that during the formation of a star, the original nebula disk may be so massive that upon further contraction and flattening, it breaks into separate clouds (vortices) or protoplanets.

hypothesis is what you believe you will discover in an experiment
This sucks jon haddad
His hypothesis was continental drift and the sea floor spreading. He helped discover the 7 major plates and large unknown amounts of minor plates. Our plates drift 2 cm a year.
Yes. Observation leads to the identification of a phenomenon or problem, and scientists would then try to formulate a hypothesis to explain the phenomenon or solve the problem. Then the scientist would devise experiments to test the hypothesis. Should the hypothesis fail, the scientist can formulate the new hypothesis. If the hypothesis holds, more experiments must be done to verify it. Only when a hypothesis is tested by many experiments by many people can it be called a theory.
The Scientific Method first starts with formulation of a question. Any question that is testable will do. The next step is to come up with an educated guess about your question. After the guess is made a prediction about the hypothesis (usually whether it is correct or not) is made. You then next test your Hypothesis using an experiment. After you test your Hypothesis you Analyse the data to discover whether or not the prediction about the Hypothesis is, or is not, supported.
