Answer 2

Immanuel Kant was the first thinker to give the theory of Nebular.

Explanation:

• Taking inspiration from the works of Emanual Swedenborg, Immanuel Kant developed a theory to clarify the creation of the solar system.

• In this theory, he proposed that the nebulous material exerted by the Sun is responsible for the formation of our solar system.

• In his hypothesis, he put forward in a systematic manner how the inner and the outer planets evolved from the clouds of solar nebula.

• This hypothesis got popularity as it was the best explanation of the evolution of the solar system.

• It came to be known as the 'Nebular Hypothesis'.
