When the cloud of gas and dust that formed the sun began to gather together to form the sun, some of it didn't get sucked in by the increasing gravity at the center, but gathered together into less-dense "rings" around the newly-formed sun.
Then gravity did its magic on those gases and dust, gathering them together into smaller balls, the planets. Around some of them were still smaller rings, which gathered together into moons, or, in some cases, more widely dispersed rings.
If you play with water, stirring it with a pencil to create a little whirlpool, then drop little bits of soil or even food coloring into it, you'll get a feel for how it might have happened. It's not the same, but if you watch it and try, you can imagine how it might have happened.
Then, of course, you'll start wondering about hurricanes.

The earth was formed by leftover dust and stuff from the making of the sun. Scientists think that water came from icy comets crashing into earth. That's all I know.

God made earth. but if u want to look at it from a scientific point of veiw...the earth formed by two masses (basically HUGE rocks...aka...earth and mars even though the two were MUCH bigger than they are today) collided into eachother, and BAM, there's earth, there's mars, and there's the moon
