What is Planet Formation in Astrophysics about?

This document provides an overview of the classic model of planet formation around stars. It describes how planets are thought to form from disks of gas and dust that surround young stars as they collapse and spin. The inner planets are rocky because the inner regions of the protoplanetary disk were too hot for volatile compounds like water to condense, while the outer planets are gaseous as the cooler outer regions allowed accumulation of gases like water and hydrogen which contributed to their larger size
