Physics - Our Solar System - Learning Points. Our Solar System is the region of space which falls within the gravitational influence of our Sun. Our Solar System formed about 5 billion years ago from a giant spinning cloud of gas and dust. The Sun took 10 million years to form. Metal and dust particles clustered to form rocks, which eventually formed planets in a process known as accretion. A Twig Curriculum Film. Delivering key learning points.
