Solar System Formation

Solar System Formation is the astrophysical process of planetary system development through the gravitational collapse and accretion of a primordial molecular cloud into a central star and its surrounding disk, from which planets, moons, asteroids, and comets originate via condensation, coagulation, and dynamical evolution specific to the Sun’s circumstellar environment.
