Five
billion
years
ago,
the
Solar
System
did
not
exist.
There
was
only
a
huge,
diffuse
cloud
of
dust
and
gases
turning
slowly
on
itself.
Over
time,
the
Sun
was
formed,
followed
by
the
eight
planets,
including
Earth,
which
formed
a
bit
like
a
snowball,
by
the
agglomeration
of
matter
around
the
original
nebula.
Emerging
from
a
cloud
of
dust
it
all
started
4.6
billion
years
ago,
in
one
of
the
spiral
arms
of
the
Milky
Way.
Impacted
by
a
shock
wave
that
probably
came
from
the
explosion
of
massive
star,
a
Super
Nova,
a
cloud
of
dust
or
Solar
nebula
began
to
rotate.
At
the
center
of
the
cloud,
matter
became
increasingly
dense,
hot
and
luminous.
It
gave
rise
to
a
new
star,
which
became
the
sun.
Dust
in
the
surrounding
area
began
to
agglomerate.
Small
pebbles
grew
larger,
forming
protoplanets,
a
few
miles
in
diameter.
The
protoplanets
collided
with
each
other
and
aglomerated
until
they
reached
the
size
of
planets
several
thousand
miles
in
diameter.
Over
hundreds
of
millions
of
years,
the
emerging
planets
were
intensely
bombarded
by
other
rocky
bodies.
