Solar system formation is the scientific study of how our solar system, including the Sun, planets, moons, and other celestial bodies, was created and evolved over billions of years. This field of research aims to understand the processes and events that led to the formation of the diverse objects in our solar system and the organization of these objects into their current configuration. Scientists use a variety of methods, including computer simulations, observations of other star systems, and analysis of meteorites and other objects in our solar system, to gain insights into the complex processes that shaped our solar system. Understanding the formation of our solar system can provide valuable insights into the origins of our planet, the conditions necessary for life to arise, and the potential for life on other planets.
