Explain the process of how the solar system was formed.
When the sun ignited there was a giant cloud of dust and gas surrounding and orbiting it. Overtime the gas and dust forms clumps called planetesimals. These objects gathered more and more dust and gas together because of their gravity and collisions with the gas and dust particles. They eventually formed the planets, moons, and meteors we see today.
