The cosmogony of the planetary and satellite systems consists of understanding the physio-chemical processes leading to their formation and also trying to decide at what time and over what period their formation took place. The cosmogony of the comets require answers to not only these two questions but also as to where, in relation to the solar system, the observed and inferred distributions of comets were formed.
