The primary purpose of this page is
to link visitors to the planets of our Solar System. Before you
proceed to the individual bodies, we would like to give you a brief
history of the Solar System. The birth of our Solar System is a
topic of some debate. No one is exactly sure how it happened, but
there are many theories. The most accepted theory is that the Solar
System was brought about from a Nebula. Nebulae are sometimes
called nurseries for stars; that is, a place filled with all of the
vital elements for a sun and planets. Our own Solar System was
probably in this state about 4.6 billion years ago. Over time, the
Sun was formed. From the stellar gases and dust, the planets of the
Solar System were born.
