The Earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago, not long after the Sun.

After the Sun formed, a disk of leftover debris orbited it. This debris of gas and dust would, through the force of gravity, coalesce to form the planets and all other solar system bodies.

Gravity pulled the dust and gas into chunks. These chunks further clumped together and grew larger and larger, until they began to form a spherical planet. This is how all the planets formed, including Earth.
