Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -About 4.6 billion years ago, it collapsed into a flat, swirling protoplanetary disk called the solar nebula. In the millions of years ensuing, the solar system took its shape, such that today more than 99% of the matter is in our sun and while more than 99% of the angular momentum resides in its encircling planets.
Detailed explanation-2: -By far most of the solar system’s mass is in the Sun itself: somewhere between 99.8 and 99.9 percent. The rest is split between the planets and their satellites, and the comets and asteroids and the dust and gas surrounding our star.
