Definition of Nebuler
Neb"u*lar (?), a. Of or pertaining
to nebulæ; of the nature of, or resembling, a nebula.
Nebular hypothesis, an hypothesis to explain
the process of formation of the stars and planets, presented in
various forms by Kant, Herschel, Laplace, and others. As formed by
Laplace, it supposed the matter of the solar system to have existed
originally in the form of a vast, diffused, revolving nebula, which,
gradually cooling and contracting, threw off, in obedience to
mechanical and physical laws, succesive rings of matter, from which
subsequently, by the same laws, were produced the several planets,
satellites, and other bodies of the system. The phrase may indicate
any hypothesis according to which the stars or the bodies of the
solar system have been evolved from a widely diffused nebulous form
of matter.
