  1. Earth formation,
  2. a spinning this of gas and dust
  3. billions of years ago,
  4. Earth and the rest of the solar system existed
  5. only as an enormous cloud of dust and gas.
  6. Eventually something happened to create a disturbance in that dust cloud,
  7. setting forth a chain of events that would lead to the formation of life as we know it.
  8. One common hypothesis among scientists is that a distant star collapsed,
  9. creating a supernova explosion,
  10. which disrupted the dust cloud and caused it to put together this form,
  11. this form that's spinning disk of gas and dust, known as the solar nebula.
  12. The faster the clouds spun,
  13. the more the dust and gas became concentrated at the center,
  14. further fueling the speed of the nebula.
