Why are all the planets on the same orbital plane?

The video explores why planets orbit in the same plane, tracing back to the solar system's formation from a nebula. It explains how angular momentum and particle collisions led to the creation of protoplanetary disks, which eventually formed planets and moons. The concept of emergent structures and self-organization is discussed, showing how chaotic beginnings can lead to orderly systems.
