The solar system condensed out of a cloud of interstellar gas, some four and a half billion years ago. The gas was rotating, and that angular momentum became the various forms of revolution and rotation found in the planets and the sun. Ultimately, if our current understanding of cosmology is correct, the rotation of the original gas cloud can be traced back to the Big Bang. It derives from the original expansion of the universe.
