Why Do the Planets Orbit in the Same Plane?

The video explains why planets orbit the sun in a flat plane, tracing back to the solar system's formation from a spinning gas cloud. This process, driven by gravity and angular momentum, led to a disk shape where planets formed. Most planets orbit in the same plane, but some objects have inclined orbits due to gravitational influences from larger planets. This phenomenon is common in other star systems as well.
