Among several sources, gas-grain reactions operating in thesolarnebulahave been well recognized to play an important role in nebular chemistry.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The constraints for its formation in thesolarnebulaare too demanding so it cannot be formed at all under those conditions.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It has been supposed that the formation of macromolecular material was probably related to thermal alteration in thesolarnebulaor the meteorite parent body.
From theCambridge English Corpus
It has recently been realized that in both of these mechanisms, asolarnebulacapable of forming gas giant planets is likely to be marginally gravitationally unstable.
From theCambridge English Corpus
