Abstract
Star formation is a hot topic in astrophysics and cosmology which have been studied and investigated for mean years. Since the importance of understanding stars is obvious as they are the fundamental component of the universe. With this in mind, the general process of the four-step star formation would be briefly introduced in this paper, followed by a discussion about more details and debate about the theory star formation. To be specific, this study will include the evidence of when the star is formed and grains in protostars’ disks. The connection between various theories and the solar system would also be shown and demonstrated. The connection also reflects the significance of the research in low-mass star formation for understanding the solar system and the sun. In addition, the limitations of current theoretical analysis and models will be discussed and the future prospects will be proposed accordingly. Overall, these results shed light on guiding further exploration of star formation analysis.
