The nebular hypothesis explains the formation of the solar system from a rotating cloud of gas and dust, known as a nebula. Approximately 4.6 billion years ago, gravitational forces caused this nebula to collapse, leading to the formation of the Sun at its center, while the surrounding material coalesced into planets, moons, asteroids, and other celestial bodies. This model accounts for the observed distribution of mass and angular momentum in the solar system, as well as the differences between terrestrial and gas giant planets.

Depends on your denotation for the world. If your intended use of the word "world" is the Earth, then the Nebular Hypothesis for the formation of solar systems is more appropriate to explain the origin of planets, like Earth.
