What is the current scientific thinking about the information of the solar system?

Solar System Formation. 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.

The third, the disk instability method, may account for the creation of giant planets. Approximately 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system was a cloud of dust and gas known as a solar nebula ... In this way, asteroids, comets, planets and moons were created.
