Formation theories

Formation theories explain how objects like planets, stars, and galaxies come into existence. They include processes such as gravitational collapse, where matter clumps together under gravity to form celestial bodies, and accretion, where smaller particles collide and stick to build larger structures. For example, the solar system formed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust that collapsed under gravity, eventually forming the Sun and planets. These theories help us understand the origins and evolution of the universe, highlighting the natural processes of accumulation and organization that create complex cosmic structures over time.
