The currently accepted method by which the planets formed is accretion, in which the planets began as dust grains in orbit around the central protostar.Through direct contact and self-organization, these grains formed into clumps up to …

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NebulaPlanetary nebulae are the remnants of the final stages of stellar evolution for mid-mass stars (varying in size between 0.5-~8 solar masses). Evolved asymptotic giant branch stars expel their outer layers outwards due to strong stellar winds, thus forming gaseous shells while leaving behind the star's core in the form of a white dwarf. Radiation from the hot white dwarf excites …
