Planetary Theories

Planetary theories are scientific ideas explaining how planets form and evolve. They explore processes like the accretion of dust and gas in the early solar system, leading to planet creation, and how planets' orbits and features change over time. These theories help us understand why planets have different compositions, sizes, and atmospheres, and how phenomena like planetary migration or collisions influence the solar system's development. Researchers use evidence from computer models, observations, and space missions to refine these theories, aiming to build a comprehensive picture of planetary origins and dynamics.
