This is what scientists think happen: a previous large star exploded in a supernova. The outer layer of dust and gas is ejected into space. The gas eventually formed the sun. The dust pulled together to form everything else in the solar system.

The solar system and its planets were formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust called the solar nebula about 4.6 billion years ago. The force of gravity caused the material in the nebula to clump together, forming the sun at the center with planets and other celestial bodies forming around it. This process of planetary formation is known as accretion.
