Detailed explanation-1: -Abstract. The formation and evolution of our solar system (and planetary systems around other stars) are among the most challenging and intriguing fields of modern science. As the product of a long history of cosmic matter evolution, this important branch of astrophysics is referred to as stellar-planetary cosmogony.
Detailed explanation-2: -By studying several things, mostly meteorites, and using radioactive dating techniques, specifically looking at daughter isotopes, scientists have determined that the Solar System is 4.6 billion years old.
Detailed explanation-3: -According to the nebular theory, our solar system formed from a giant cloud of interstellar gas. What caused the orderly patterns of motion in our solar system? The rotation speed of the cloud from which our solar system formed must have increased as the cloud contracted.
Detailed explanation-4: -Our solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The cloud collapsed, possibly due to the shockwave of a nearby exploding star, called a supernova. When this dust cloud collapsed, it formed a solar nebula – a spinning, swirling disk of material.
