We know a lot about how solar systems formed---the books on the subject would fill a library.

There are several stages, each of which is a complex study in itself:

1) Formation of dense molecular cloud from low-density material in the Milky Way.
2) Formation of a "core" in the dense cloud, that is dynamically isolated from Milky Way dynamics.
3) Contraction of that core, with mitigation of magnetic field pressure.
4) Formation of a disk of dense molecular material.
5) Angular momentum reduction in that disk through outflows.
6) Formation of a protoplanetary disk, evolution of planetoids.
7) Formation of protostar.
8) Formation of planets, clearing out of protoplanetary disk, migration and collision of planets.
9) Star becomes pre-main-sequence, planets settle down, dust in disk dissipates.
10) Star settles onto main sequence, planets settle into orbits.

Our, and all other solar systems are formed when a giant wedge shaped mass of rocky material,ejected by a super nova,crashes into a hydrogen field.
The leading edge slows and the following material forms a giant smoke ring.
The giant ring flattens,distributing the material such that most of the hydrogen accumulates as a ball,forming the sun and the rest is strewn out ward forming the planets and other solar system debris.

Short answer:
Gasses start to clump together and coalesce (form) into a ball. The ball gains mass, which attracts other particals. This grows, and surrounding gasses...which are moving at high speed...begin to rotate around this ball. The rotating gasses form into large rings, which themselves coalesce into balls. Some form into planets, moons, or just stay as gasses.

Fast-forward millions of years, and you have a solar system.

please rate this answer best
for a solar system you need a star
everything started from a exploison called big bang
that formed large clouds of dust and gases called nebula
from nebula stars formed
some of the small pieces of rocks from big bang started circling the star at high speed due to gravatitional force
they get stick together to form large big celestial bodies
tese are planets
(taking the star to be sun)
the planets were much more in number
after revolving one of the planet called fear collided with earth
giving out large chunks of rocks
some of them escaped the earths gravity(asteroids)
some remained in its gravitational pull and sticked together to form the moon .Same with other planets
solar system formes!!!!!!!!!

the solar system started out like the size of a pea then the big bang happened. all the gases that were there mixed and created the planets, the stars and everything else. there were 3 gases but i cant remember what they were. i think one of them was hydrogen

WE know very little how stars and the solar system was actually created into the formation that we observe it to be.
The only basic Understanding we have about it is outlined in the Biblical Record of Creation.

BOOOM! SUPER NOVA EXPLOSION!

and then from that, gas clouds collect to form stars (both planets and the shiny ones).

Solar systems really are just lots of stars revolving around one huge star, and it all starts from gravitational attraction between gases which then make stars.

Gravitational attraction within a large cloud of gas and dust.
