It started out around four and a half billion years agoBack then, our solar system was just a cloud of gas and dust, probably left over from the explosion of a star. TIM: The outer planets were once rocky, too, but their gravity captured the gas pushed away by the sun. TIM: The four outer planets are really far from the sun, so they're much colder.

TIM: Over the course of millions of years, gravity pulled the elements of this dust cloud closer and closer together until clumps began to form. TIM: The Oort cloud is a whole light-year away from the sun it takes an entire year for a ray of sunshine to reach it! It is depicted with several large concentric rings. That means they travel around it in an orbit. So, get ready to blast off with Tim and Moby as they explore our galactic neighborhood! The animation shows five planets traveling along the circles.
