Answer:

the answer is actually B

Step-by-step explanation:

When our solar system formed out of a gas cloud, called a nebula, there was lots of dust and gas coming together due to the force of gravity. The dust and gas was already moving around in a circle. As it all clumped together to form the Sun and planets, these new objects started to spin – and then spin faster.

i hope this helps!!!

Answer:

the answer I think is A im so sorry if its wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

Because yes we do have gases collapsing we also have dust collapsing with it and surrounding it to make a disk type of air flow that pushes it that makes it rotate if that makes sense. yet again super sorry if its wrong.
