Planet formation is a category devoted to how planets originate and evolve from the gas-and-dust disks around young stars, following the path from tiny grains to planetesimals, planetary cores, and full-fledged terrestrial and giant worlds. Books in this genre span theory, observation, experiments, and simulations, covering processes such as coagulation and accretion, disk chemistry and dynamics, migration, resonances, collisions, and late-stage assembly. They draw on evidence from our Solar System (meteorites, isotopes, orbital structure) and from exoplanet surveys and resolved protoplanetary disks, blending astrophysics, geophysics, and cosmochemistry. The category includes accessible popular science, textbooks, research monographs, and edited collections on topics like pebble accretion, disk instabilities, volatile delivery, and habitability, often emphasizing timelines, comparative planetology, and the architectures of planetary systems.
