Solar System Formation Basics
Cloud of gas (nebula) compresses to form a star
Star formation causes a gravitational pull which makes the cloud start spinning
While spinning, the dust pieces start crashing into each and growing larger
When the pieces get big enough they start to mold into a sphere
There are still leftover 'scraps' from the initial formation of the planets
