The Solar System formed 4.6 Ga (for Giga annum or billions of years) when the interstellar material in a spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy condensed and collapsed. Under the influence of gravity this material flattened into a counter clockwise rotating disk. There are nth numbers of theories which explain the formation of the Solar System and the Solar Nebula Theory is one of them.
What is the Solar Nebula Theory?
90% mass is concentrated in the centre with the rest occurring in the solar nebula. The term 'nebula' is a Latin word which means 'cloud'. The Solar Nebula Theory postulates that the Solar System is formed by the transition from an undifferentiated cloud to a star system complete with planets and moons takes about 100 million years.
This theory states that the Solar System was formed in 4.6 billion years ago by condensation and postulates are moving on three observable facts- first is that all the planets orate in the same direction; second is that all the planets orbit within six degree of a common plane; and third is that all the terrestrial planets are situated within the orbit of the Asteroid Belt whereas those outside it are gaseous. This theory also supports the existence of the Kuiper Belt (Belt of high concentration of comets).
Stages of the formation of Solar Systemaccording to the Solar Nebula Theory: Cloud Collapse > Formation of Protoplanetary disk > Growth of planets.
According to the Solar Nebula Theory, the formation of the solar system was started when an interstellar cloud, containing approximately 75 percent hydrogen, 25 percent helium and traces of other elements, begins to form areas of higher concentration, or clumps. The moment clumps expansion, the gravitational forces increases and transform into kinetic energy of the increasingly fast moving particles that collide with each other and generate heat. After an unspecified period of time or an especially long delay one clump dominates, and when its temperature reaches 10 million degrees Kelvin (18 million degrees Fahrenheit), nuclear fission begins. The outward pressure created by the fission reactions prevents further collapse, and the clump of burning hydrogen gas stabilizes and becomes a star.
After collapse of cloud, the Protoplanetary disks were formed which is also called proto-stars. The gases in the nebula from which it is born form a disk and spiral more and more quickly around its centre. After an unspecified period of time or an especially long delay the outskirt of the disk started form balls like structure with composition which was depend up on their distance from the centre. Over the time these balls like structure collide with each other to form spherical bodies under the process which is called as accretion. These larger bodies are called planetesimals or celestial bodies.
After the formation of planetesimals or celestial bodies, continue to grow by assimilating surrounding material, including smaller planetesimals, to become planets.
