Question

(OSS.01)

Answer 1

The answer is the evaporation of water. As the gas begins to collapse, thermonuclear fusion as a result of the immense gravity at the center of the cloud results in the generation of immense heat and radiation that turns solids and liquid into gaseous form, close to the center of the cloud.

There is a flaw in the statement “This resulted in the nuclear fusion of gases and dust to create the sun and planets at the outer flattened portion of the disk." The sun forms in the center of the cloud since the gravitation effect that drives thermonuclear fusion are strongest in this region. Planets form in the outer regions of the accretion disks where matter attract each other into clumps and gain even more gravitational pull to yank even more matter.
