Planetary (and stellar) discsBy: Kcranley [27-August-10 3:41PM]2 posts |

Can someone explain why material collects in discs around planets and stars? I can understand that matter can get into an orbit around a massive celestial object, but why are these orbits not at random angles to one another? What is the physics of this phenomenon?
