What is the nebular hypothesis?

• The most widely accepted theory in cosmogony to explain how the Solar System formed and evolved is the nebular hypothesis. 
• It implies that gas and dust orbiting the Sun are what created the Solar System.
• The nebular theory proposes that a rotating cloud of material called a nebula, composed primarily of light components, flattened into a protoplanetary disk and developed into a solar system made up of a star and circling planets.
• Immanuel Kant developed the hypothesis.
