The nebula hypothesis (alternately, nebular hypothesis) is model of the formation of a solar system. It theorizes that a solar system begins as a rotating cloud of gas and dust that contracts to create a flat disk with a star at its center. Planets grow from the particles surrounding the star, creating a solar system.
