Hypothesis about the origin of the Earth

Facts

Immanuel Kant

 Gaseous

Based on newton's law of gravity and rotation motion

Laplace

Nebular

Laplace’s nebular hypothesis was in some way comparable to the Gaseous hypothesis of Kant and seems like the revised version of Kant’s hypothesis.

Chamberlin

Planetesimal 

Planetesimal hypothesis not only explains the origin of the earth but also delivers light on the structure of the earth, the origin of atmosphere and continents and ocean basins.

James Jeans

Tidal

The Jeans-Jeffreys tidal hypothesis, composed by James Jeans and Harold Jeffery, explained the origin of the solar system as a result of a close encounter between the Sun and a second star.
