The formation of the Solar System is estimated to have begun 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud.[1] Most of the collapsing mass collected in the center, forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a protoplanetary disk out of which the planets, moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System bodies formed.
There is no maximum number, and "nebular theory" has been knocked for a loop by the recent discoveries of 400+ "extra-solar planets" - planets orbiting other stars. Classical theories predicted that planetary systems would be rare; however, it seems that every nearby star we've looked at recently has been discovered to have planets - LOTS of planets.
Most of these are a result of giant impacts
In both systems, the Moon goes around the Earth.
8 Planets in the Solar System
According to modern understanding, the planets, and the Sun, move around the Solar System's center of mass. Since the Sun is much more massive than the planets, this center of mass is very close to the Sun. If the Sun is much larger than any of the planets, it seems likely that it also has a greater mass - assuming that their respective densities are somewhat similar. And indeed, this is the case here.
The nebular hypothesis is the most widely accepted model in the field of cosmogony to explain the formation and evolution of the Solar System (as well as other planetary systems). It suggests that the Solar System formed from nebulous material.
According to the nebular hypothesis, our solar system formed from a huge rotating cloud made mostly of hydrogen and helium gas, with trace amounts of heavier elements. The cloud, or nebula, slowly collapsed under its own gravity, leading to the formation of the sun and the planets.

The formation of the solar system from a huge cloud of dust and gases is called solar nebular hypothesis. This theory suggests that a rotating disk of gas and dust collapsed under its own gravity, forming the Sun and planets.
The most widely accepted model for the formation of the solar system is the nebular hypothesis. This theory suggests that the solar system formed from a rotating mass of gas and dust known as the solar nebula, which collapsed under its own gravity to form the Sun and surrounding planets approximately 4.6 billion years ago.
The nebular hypothesis is a widely-accepted theory that explains the formation of the solar system. It suggests that the Sun and planets formed from a spinning disk of gas and dust called a solar nebula. As the nebula contracted due to gravity, it flattened into a disk and the Sun formed at the center, while planets and other celestial bodies formed from material in the disk.
The nebular hypothesis posits that our solar system formed from a large rotating cloud of dust and gas composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, leftover from previous supernova explosions. Over time, gravity caused the cloud to collapse and form a protostar at its center, with a surrounding disk from which planets eventually coalesced.
No, nobody uses the term "solar galactic hypothesis". You may be referring to a "solar nebula", in which a cloud of gas and dust collapses under its internal gravity to form a star and perhaps some planets.
