Describe some characteristics that all the planets seem to share and use the solar nebula theory to explain them

What will be an ideal response?


All planets orbit in nearly the same plane, with a common direction of rotation and revolution. This can be explained by the solar nebula theory, which says that the planets were formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust around the young Sun.
