    The document discusses the nebular theory of solar system formation. It proposes that our solar system began as a giant cloud of gas and dust (nebula) that collapsed 4.6 billion years ago. As the nebula collapsed, denser regions of dust and gas accumulated and began to rotate due to conservation of momentum and heat up due to pressure. This led to the formation of the sun at the center and a protoplanetary disk around it from which the planets eventually formed. The theory was first proposed by German philosopher Immanuel Kant in the late 18th century.

    MODERN

    NEBULAR

    THEORY
    By: Immanuel Kant a German Philosopher
    Our Solar System began as a giant cloud of gas and

    dust known as a Nebula. The Nebula collapsed 4.6

    billion years ago, Pockets of dust and gas began to

    accumulate, As the denser regions drew in more matter

    force conservation caused it to start rotating while

    pressure caused it to heat up. The materials formed a

    ball in the center, And the rest of the material would

    form the "Protoplanetary Disc" while the ball in the

    center formed the sun.
