As with ALL the bodies in our solar system (and others for that matter) Jupiter was formed when clouds of spinning dust and gas collapsed onto themselves and clumped together to form a spherical body. Jupiter, however, consists almost entirely of gas. Some scientists have speculated that Jupiter is a failed star, since most of it is made up of the same materials as the sun, but it never reached the appropriate mass to start nuclear fusion.
