A nebula is a region of gas, mostly hydrogen, that is denser than the surrounding space. When these gas clouds are disturbed (by gravity, or by a shock wave), they can condense enough to let gravitational forces begin to gather the molecules together into clumps. Over a period of millions of years, the gas may collect (accrete) into a mass large enough to form a spinning disk, with a proto-star forming at the center. With enough swept-up hydrogen, the new star will start a fusion reaction at its hot, dense core. Pushed away by this energy release, the disk will no longer be drawn inward, but can coalesce into planets and planetoids orbiting the new star.

How was your solar system produced?

The solar system was produced by solar nebula. The nebula was disrupted by an unknow substance in the air.


How does a nebula developes into a solar system?

A nebula develops into a solar system through the process of gravitational collapse. As the nebula contracts due to gravity, it starts to spin and flatten into a spinning disk. Within this disk, the material begins to clump together and form planetesimals, which eventually coalesce to form planets, moons, and other objects in the solar system.


What is the difference in between nebula and solar nebula?

A solar nebula is related to the formation of our Solar System, any other nebula is just a nebula.


Is nebula in the solar system?

NO.


What would be the implications for the formation of the solar system if the solar nebula lacked any angular momentum initially?

If the solar nebula had no angular momentum initially, it would not have been able to form a spinning disk, which is necessary for the formation of a solar system. This spinning motion is what causes the material in the nebula to flatten into a disk shape, leading to the formation of planets and other celestial bodies. Without angular momentum, the material in the nebula would not have been able to come together to form a solar system as we know it.
