Which event led to the formation of our solar system?
Answers
Scientists believe that the solar system was formed when a cloud of gas and dust in space was disturbed, maybe by the explosion of a nearby star (called a supernova). This explosion made waves in space which squeezed the cloud of gas and dust. Squeezing made the cloud start to collapse, as gravity pulled the gas and dust together, forming a solar nebula. Just like a dancer that spins faster as she pulls in her arms, the cloud began to spin as it collapsed. Eventually, the cloud grew hotter and denser in the center, with a disk of gas and dust surrounding it that was hot in the center but cool at the edges. As the disk got thinner and thinner, particles began to stick together and form clumps. Some clumps got bigger, as particles and small clumps stuck to them, eventually forming planets or moons . Near the center of the cloud, where planets like Earth formed, only rocky material could stand the great heat. Icy matter settled in the outer regions of the disk along with rocky material, where the giant planets like Jupiter formed. As the cloud continued to fall in, the center eventually got so hot that it became a star, the Sun, and blew most of the gas and dust of the new solar system with a strong stellar wind. By studying meteorites, which are thought to be left over from this early phase of the solar system, scientists have found that the solar system is about 4600 million years old

Our solar system contains the sun at it's centre and eight planets rotating around it.(not nine planets as Pluto is no more considered as a planet)
Our solar system was formed almost 4.5 million years ago.
The best theory which is accepted by most of the scientist and theories about the formation of our solar system is the Big Bang Theory.
According to this theory almost 4.5 billion years ago, there was an explosion in our Sun and due to this explosion many segments from the sun separated and started rotating around the sun in specific orbits. Through ages base hot and liquid segments cold and solidifies into today's planets. In this way our solar system was created.
