Gravity.
All of the celestial bodies in the solar system are believed to have formed from a spinning disk of gas and dust called the solar nebula, which collapsed under gravity around 4.6 billion years ago. This process, known as the solar nebula theory, explains the formation of planets, moons, asteroids, and comets in our solar system.
No, the solar nebula was primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of other elements like carbon and iron. The solar system formed from the gravitational collapse of this nebula, leading to the formation of the Sun and planets.
A solar nebula begins to form when a cloud of gas and dust in space collapses under its own gravity. This collapse can be triggered by a nearby supernova explosion, a shockwave from a passing star, or other disturbances in the interstellar medium.
Roughly 2% of the mass of the solar nebula consisted of elements other than hydrogen and helium. These elements include heavier elements like carbon, oxygen, and iron that were essential for the formation of planets and other celestial bodies.
One of the events that did not occur during the collapse of the solar nebula was the formation of the first stars in the universe. Instead, the collapse of the solar nebula led to the formation of our solar system.
An explosion from outside the nebula
A nebula is a vast cloud of gas and dust in space. A solar nebula specifically refers to the cloud of gas and dust from which our solar system formed around 4.6 billion years ago.
The Nebula Theory is also known as the Solar Nebula Theory. It is a widely accepted model for the formation of our solar system.

What begins the process of solar system formation? Gas and dust in a nebula is disturbed by an outside force. Apex
