The nebular theory states that star systems form by the gravitational collapse of a cloud of gas and dust that, to match observations, must flatten into a disk within which planets can form. why would this flattening occur? consider the law of conservation of angular momentum, which states that a quantity related to the size of an object (its moment of inertia) times the speed of rotation (angular speed) has to remain the same at all times as long as no outside forces act on that object. based on this law, if a collapsing cloud is isolated in space with no external forces, what must happen to it as its size decreases?
