太阳系理论的形成是没有尽头的，但对这些理论所面临的问题却没有那么多的一般性评论。这样的评论将特别受天体物理学家和行星物理学家的欢迎，因为他们想了解太阳系起源的理论在多大程度上限制了他们想赋予行星的性质，反过来，他们对行星的动力学、物理学和化学的了解在多大程度上限制了理论的可能性。威廉姆斯博士在他的书中首先概述了太阳系的已知性质和必须由任何令人满意的太阳系起源理论解释的事实。在这里，他的评论是启发性的，他指出，例如，角动量的行星必须大于太阳，如果太阳是不解体，并从这一点来看，经典的角动量问题可以改写为：为什么行星如此远离太阳？威廉姆斯博士将太阳起源理论分为三类：一类涉及潮汐与另一个物体的相互作用，一类涉及星际物质的吸积，一类取决于太阳在其发展的早期阶段的特殊性质。类不一定是排他性的。威廉姆斯博士追溯了历史，并展示了一些问题，例如，行星之间碰撞的影响，是如何不断重现的。
Of the making of theories of the solar system there is no end, but there are not so many general reviews of the problems that face those theories. Such reviews will be particularly welcome to geophysicists and planetary physicists, because they want to understand how far theories for the origin of the solar system may constrain the properties they would like to assign to the planets and conversely, how far what they learn about the dynamics, physics and chemistry of the planets may constrain theoretical possibilities. Dr Williams, in his book first of all summarizes the known properties of the solar system and the facts which must be explained by any satisfactory theory of its origin. Here, as elsewhere his comments are illuminating; he points out for example, that the angular momentum of the planets must be greater than that of the Sun if the Sun is not to disintegrate and that from that point of view the classical angular momentum problem can be rephrased as: why are the planets so far from the Sun?Dr Williams classifies theories of origin into three groups-those involving tidal interaction with another object, those involving accretion from interstellar matter and those depending on particular properties of the Sun at some early stage in its development. The classes are not necessarily exclusive. Dr Williams goes well back in history and shows how some problems, for example, that of the effect of collision between planetismals, recur persistently.
