The early solar system comprised of a disk of gas which was hot near the newly formed protosun (about 2000 degrees Kelvin) and cooler at further distances. Rocky substances condensed at the higher (inner) temperatures, while icy substances condense at much lower temperatures further out (about 200 degrees Kelvin) and hydrogen and helium at lower temperatures still - just above absolute zero. So in the early stages, the inner solar system was rocky, while the planets forming in the outer regions of the solarsystem were made from (and accumulated) ice and gas. Things have pretty much remained this way since.
