"Proplyds" are the early forms of solar systems, wherein the material that's going to be a star (or perhaps two) and its (their) planets is spread out is a disk while the elements sort themselves out by density with the metals migrating toward the central region, the silicates assuming the next ring out and the water and hydrocarbons remaining in the suburbs. Hydrogen and helium, through quite low density, are so far and away the most abundant that they form the star and about 99% of the whole system.

What observation made of other stars seems to suggest the solar nebula hypothesis is correct?

The presence of protoplanetary disks around other stars, known as proplyds, supports the solar nebula hypothesis. These disks resemble the early solar system's disk of gas and dust that eventually formed the planets. Additionally, the discovery of exoplanets in various stages of formation further reinforces the solar nebula hypothesis.


What causes clouds to form individual planets over time?

Clouds of gas and dust in space can collapse due to gravity, forming protoplanetary disks. These disks then clump together to form individual planets over millions of years through a process called accretion. As the planet grows larger, it clears out its orbital path and becomes a distinct entity in its own right.


What is the force that caused the formation of the plants in our solar system?

Plants in our solar system, including those on Earth, formed due to the force of gravity that led to the condensation of dust and gas in the early solar system. This process eventually allowed for the formation of protoplanetary disks, which served as the birthplace of plants through processes such as accretion and differentiation.


Are planetary nebulae sites for planet formation?

No, planetary nebulae are not sites for planet formation. Planetary nebulae are the outer layers of a dying star that have been expelled into space, while new planets form in protoplanetary disks around young stars.


Gas and dust spins?

Gas and dust in space can spin due to the conservation of angular momentum as they collapse under gravity. This spinning motion can give rise to the formation of rotating disks around stars or black holes, as seen in protoplanetary disks and accretion disks. The rotation of gas and dust plays a key role in shaping planetary systems and feeding material onto compact objects.

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).
