Answer;

Accretion disk

A solar system may form from a spinning disk of material called an accretion disk

Step-by-step explanation;

  • The solar system is made up of the sun and several planets that orbit around it.
  • Accretion is the process by which planets were formed in which they began as dust particles that orbited around a central protostar.
  • The material in the nebula that was not absorbed by the sun moved around it and formed a flat disk of dust particles and gas that was held by the gravity of the sun. This disk is the accretion disk. Each planet started as a microscopic dust particle in this accretion disk.

The appropriate response is accretion disk. It is a structure (regularly a circumstellar circle) shaped by diffused material in orbital movement around a monstrous focal body. The focal body is regularly a star. Gravity makes the material in the plate winding internal towards the focal body.
