Why are solar systems, and even Galaxies, "disk" shaped, and not a ball?...
Because the Star spins.
Why does it spin?.
Surely a ball of gas does not need spin?...
And in that there are entire galaxies out there that are naught but a cloud of gas, they are called nebulae by some.
Enter a spinning particle or group of them that may have been caused by a collision, that is now generating some form of Gravity that "is more" than just the local small force of gravity that is from all matter...
That extra gravity, call it magnetism if you will, starts the process off creating a super-dense local gravitation that "collects" all around it.
That theory sort of shows how the local system of a star could have been formed. And why all solar systems have orbital moons or planets that spin in the same direction...
Mostly.
But here is the question, does spin impart gravity, or is it that as no one has measured the gravity of say a large planet like earth with or without spin, does no one actually know?..
There is gravity on the moon, but, as its not as big as earth, its not as high as earths.
But the moon has no spin....
does spin cause gravity? empirical testing with a merry-go-round would seem to imply not. however, would a spinning planet cause eddies in the space time continuum? if we think of space as a very undense fluid medium, there may be something to the theory that planetary spin affects other bodies around the planet.
