It is the theory of the origin of the solar system. I got this from this site:
http://www.ioncmaste.ca/homepage/resources/web_resources/CSA_Astro9/files/html/module4/lessons/lesson3/solar_nebula.html
Although the origin of the solar system is still not fully understood, the basic concepts are known quite well. The nebular theory describes the slow collapse of a nebular cloud into a protostar. While a star is forming in the centre of the collapsing cloud, the outer, cooler regions of the cloud swirl around the central protostar in a disk-like structure called the solar nebula.

Basically it says that the solar system evolved from a cloud of dust, gas and debris that was concentrated in an area of space. Look up the trapezium in the orion nebula to get a great analalogy.
