Our solar system came into being 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.

-
Jovian planets includes Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jovian planets have multiple moons, non-solid surface, support ring system and immense size.
-
Jupiter is made up by gas, Jupiter is largest planet in our solar system.
-
Saturn is the 2nd largest planet in our solar system. The rings is 282,000 kilometer long.
-
-
Neptune is the farthest planet from the sun, which make Neptune to be also the coldest planet in the solar system.
-
Asteroid belt is known as the asteroids orbit between Mars and Jupiter, generally with not very elongated orbits.
-
Kuiper belt is the outer icy belt in our solar system. Some dwarf planets are here, such as pluto.
