The document discusses several theories of solar system formation: 1) The Solar Nebula Theory proposes that the solar system formed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust known as the solar nebula. 2) The Planetesimal Theory suggests that dust and ice in the solar nebula stuck together through collisions to form planetesimals which eventually merged to form planets. 3) The Capture Theory proposes that planets were formed elsewhere in the galaxy and later captured by the Sun's gravity.
