The protoplanet hypothesis suggests that about 5 billion years ago a great cloud of gas and dust rotated slowly in space.
The cloud was at least 10 billion kilometers in diameter.
As time passed, the cloud shrank under the pull of its own gravitation or was made to collapse by the explosion of a passing star.
