It actually happened the other way around. The solar system formed around the sun. The Sun's gravity started pulling everything in that was within it's "reach" and these bodies became the planets. The sun comprises over 99% of the mass of the solar system. It's got almost all the matter so it's got almost all the gravity. Everything else responds to that massive gravimetric "anchor" and revolves around it.
