The matter in the disk condensed into the planets, their moons, asteroids, and comets, while the great mass at the center became the sun.
These circumstellar or protoplanetary disks, as astronomers call them, are the birthplaces of planets. Small clumps of material within a disk stick together to form larger clumps. Eventually these clumps grow to become planets. As a disk spins, the material within it travels around the star in the same direction.
