French mathematician and
physicist Rene Descartes was
one of the first proponents of
a model on the origin of the
solar system
According to his model , solar
system was formed into bodies
with nearly circular orbits because
of the whirlpool like motion in the
pre- solar materials.
He explained the orbits of the
planets are the primary whirlpool
motion and the satellites the
secondary whirlpool motion.
Eighteenth century French
naturalist George-Louis Leclerc
Comte de Buffon proposed that
the planets where formed by the
collision of the sun with a giant
comet.
The resulting debris
formed into planets that
rotates in the same
direction as they
revolved around the sun.
Emmanuel Kant and Pierre Simon
Laplace proposed the nebular
theory which suggest that a great
cloud of gas and dust, called
NEBULA, began to collapse
because of gravitational pull.
As the cloud contracted, it spun
more rapidly.

Sir James Hopwood Jeans and
Harold Jeffreys
They proposed that the
planets were formed from the
substance that was torn out of
the sun.
