Why All The Planets Are On The Same Orbital Plane

The video explores why planets orbit in the same plane and direction, tracing back to the solar system's formation from a nebula. It explains how angular momentum and collisions led to the creation of a protoplanetary disk, resulting in planets and moons. The concept of emergent structures is discussed, showing how chaos can lead to order in the universe.

What is the significance of the flat disk with rings in relation to planetary orbits?

Why do all planets orbit the sun in the same direction?

Describe the process that led to the formation of the solar system billions of years ago.

How does the concept of angular momentum relate to the formation of a protoplanetary disk?

What evidence do we have today that supports the theory of planet formation around stars?

Explain the concept of emergent structures in the context of planetary systems.

In what ways do we observe self-organization in the universe?
