Nobody knows for certain. Most scientists think that the Sun, Earth and other planets (the Solar System) were formed from a mass of dust and gas. Nearly 5,000 million years ago, this mass started to shrink, and then spin and flatten into a disc. The centre of the disc spun fastest. This became the Sun. The rest of the material turned into the planets.

What caused dust clouds to form planets over time?
The spinning disk of dust that existed after the formation of the Sun caused dust clouds to form planets over time. Gravity caused the material to come together to form planets.
What happened to the remaining dust after the sun formed?
The dust that remained after the sun formed coalesced to form planets, asteroids, and comets.
What is The disk of dust and gas that formed the sun and planets called?
The disk of dust and gas that formed the Sun and planets is known as the solar nebula.The dense concentration of gas at the center of this rotating disk eventually became the Sun.
Why are Terrestrial planets closer to the sun then the Jovian planets?
Terrestrial planets are made of denser materials than Jovian planets. The planets were primarily formed from the left over disc of dust that orbited our sun when it first formed. The heavier elements were draw closer to the sun by gravity and the lighter ones flung further outward by their high orbital speed.
What revolves around the sun other than planets?
Comets, asteroids, planetoids, various dust and debris fields.
What caused dust clouds to form planets over time?

What happened to the remaining dust after the sun formed?
The dust that remained after the sun formed coalesced to form planets, asteroids, and comets.
What is dust cloud theory?
Theory that states dust and clouds condensed to form the sun and the planets by gravitational means
Which planet is still made up of the original gas and dust that congealed to form the sun and planets?
Pluto
What did the planets in our solar system form from?
Planets can be formed from nebular gases and dusts around a protostar or from the cooling of small stars.
What does a solar system begin as?
the solar system began as a huge disc of dust and gas revolving around the sun at the centre and then from that dust and gas planets began to form.
Do planets form around stars?
Yes, planets form around stars. In order to be a planet, one of the requirements is that you have to orbit around a sun. Also, as far as physicists can tell, planets form in the dust of other stars that have already died and left their matter.
A model for the solar system in which the sun and planets condensed from a cloud (or nebula) of gas and dust?
A model for the solar system in which the sun and planets condensed from a cloud (or nebula) of gas and dust
Why do planets orbit the sun at different distances?
The planets formed from a disk of gas and dust that surrounded the sun as it formed. This gas and dust clumped together to form the solar system. Two planets cannot occupy orbits that are too close together. If they do, interactions through gravity will either cause them to collide or get moved to different orbits.
What orbits the central object of your solar system?
The Sun is the central object in the Solar System; it is orbited by planets, asteroids, meteors, dust particles, and comets.The Sun is the central object in the Solar System; it is orbited by planets, asteroids, meteors, dust particles, and comets.The Sun is the central object in the Solar System; it is orbited by planets, asteroids, meteors, dust particles, and comets.The Sun is the central object in the Solar System; it is orbited by planets, asteroids, meteors, dust particles, and comets.

What is the Sun's solar system?
The Sun's solar system comprises the planets, asteroids, comets and dust which orbit the Sun.
