What structural outcome is typically enforced by rotational support preventing spherical collapse?

Formation of a flattened structure, such as a spinning disk or a torus.

Rotation is a significant factor resisting the attempt of a cloud to contract into a single spherical point. Due to the conservation of angular momentum, the rotational speed increases dramatically as the cloud shrinks. This rotational support generates a centrifugal force that prevents collapse along the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis. Consequently, the collapse is channeled primarily along the rotation axis. This preferential collapse leads to the geometric shaping of the material into a flattened configuration, commonly observed as a spinning accretion disk or a torus surrounding the developing protostar, rather than allowing the mass to concentrate uniformly in all directions.
