A solar nebular theory which assumes a large disk-shaped gas cloud in rotation around the sun is developed to account for a large number of data on the solar system, including the orientation of planetary rotational axes, the retrograde rotations of Venus and Triton, and the mass ratios between satellite systems and the planets. The solar nebula-type theory involves steady loss of angular momentum at the edge of the gas cloud, leading to the formation of a toroidal gas ring at the edge of the cloud. An interchange of the outer and inner parts of the gas ring during a contraction process results in formation of outer rings of solid matter (eventually planets) which contain more matter than the adjacent inner rings.
