- beyond the first four planets
- this theory describes the formation of the solar system. The planets and sun began forming around 5 billion years ago from a large cloud of dust and gasses. As the cloud contracted, it rotated faster and assumed a disk shape. Material that was gravitationally pulled toward the center became the protosun.
