The explosion of the stars led to the formation of a huge cloud of gases( helium and hydrogen),dust and ice particles.
This cloud whirled,cooled and condensed to a disc shape. The gravitational attraction within the materials increased and caused the particles to compact. Some particles broke from the edge of the disc whirled. The compacted particles swirled faster towards the centre of the disc in different directions.
As they whirled,they cooled or solidified to form the planets. This swirling caused particles to collide losing a little energy at a time. The middle of the spinning disc condensed to form the sun while the material spinning around condensed into large chunks of materials called planetoids. The planetoids collided and coalesced into large bodies called planets. The earth is one of the planets. The centre of the disc formed the sun.
