    This document discusses several key properties and formation processes of planetary systems including the inclinations of planetary axes and orbits, the flattening of the original nebula from which planets formed, the accretion of smaller planetessimals to form planets, how temperature determined what materials could accrete at different distances from the young star, the location of the ice line in early systems where volatiles like water could condense into solids, the presence of the Oort cloud of comets surrounding the outer solar system, and the discovery of exoplanets orbiting other stars.
