Definition
The process of the Solar System's creation, where planets, asteroids, and comets formed from a flat disk of material around the Sun. Inner planets were warmer, smaller, and rocky, while outer planets were colder and larger, with ice mixed in. Gravity from outer planets influenced the movement of ice chunks, leading to the formation and distribution of comets.
