Why are all planets in our solar system basically on the same plane?

Can anyone explain why all the planets in our solar system seem to be basically on the same plane? If everything is random, this seems too co-incidental. Would the gravatational influence of the other planets have pulled all the planets into a similar plane?Why are all planets in our solar system basically on the same plane?As the cloud of gas and dust that formed our solar system collapsed to form the sun, it began to spin. The spinning motion formed a disk, in which the remaining material formed into the planets and asteroids. This is why they all orbit in the same direction and along the same plane.



Comets are from the Oort cloud, which extends in every direction around the solar system, so their orbits are random, and not on the same plane as the planets.Why are all planets in our solar system basically on the same plane?The technical term for what turkwise is saying is called:



conservation of angular momentum.



and he is correctWhy are all planets in our solar system basically on the same plane?What makes you think random events can not produce predictable results?



Allmost all systems condensed out of large clouds of material.

As they condense and decrease radius the angular momentum of the system is preserved.

That means that the cloud spins faster as it shrinks.

It also compresses onto a disk instead of a ball because it has no centrefugal force except in the plane it is rotating in.



Actually the big question is why are there variations in the sizes of planets, their spins and the planes and eccentricity of their orbits.Why are all planets in our solar system basically on the same plane?
They aren't on the same plane, they do orbit the sun but each plane of orbit is varied just slightly.
