Description: WEBA planet is a large, rounded astronomical body that is neither a star nor its remnant. The best available theory of planet formation is the nebular hypothesis, which posits that an interstellar cloud collapses out of a nebula to create a young protostar orbited by a protoplanetary disk.

Description: WEBFeb 1, 2024 · A planet is a large object that orbits a star. To be a planet, an object must be massive enough for gravity to have squeezed it into a spherical, or round, shape,. It must also be large enough for gravity to have swept up any rocky or icy objects from its path, or orbit, around the star. Scientists believe planets begin to form when a dense ...
