AnswerNo, the Earth did not begin directly because of the Big Bang. Scientists say that the universe itself began with a "big bang", when matter was ejected from what was effectively an ultra-dense ball of energy. Much later, matter appeared, and this matter formed into gas clouds and then coalesced into stars such as our Sun. But not all the interstellar matter formed into stars.

Some of the lighter material continued as clouds of gas that astronomers can still see through telescopes. Some matter, particularly heavier elements, also went into orbit around stars. Gradually these clouds in turn coalesced into orbiting bodies around their stars. The Earth, one of the gaseous bodies that had formed around our Sun, finally cooled enough to form a planet, and that was around 4.54 billion years ago.

How do the planets revolving around a star get there speed?

It all started with the Big Bang. All the matter created from the Big Bang eventually formed planets and every thing else. From the moment matter was created during the Big Bang the matter was expanding and moving really fast. So eventually all the planets and stars and galaxies that were formed started to spin around each other from the velocity that was created.

Was the word created by a big bang?

Yes and no. According to current theory ALL matter has its origins in the big bang some 13.7 billion years ago. The solar system we live in (Earth included) is thought to have accreted from a nebula bout about 4.5 billion years ago. The matter which makes up our solar system was then created in the big bang, but the solar system itself (our sun and earth included) wasn't formed from that matter until 9 billion years later.
