The formation of the solar system began an estimated 4.6 billion years ago, when an interstellar cloud of dust and gas began to collapse in on itself. Over millions of years, the pressure and temperature in the core of this material increased, leading to the formation of the Sun. Over a period of about 100 million years, the young sun was surrounded by a disk consisting of dust and gas – with the help of gravitational forces, this matter clumped together and formed the first protoplanets. The largest of these masses gave rise to the planets known today in the solar system. The rocky versions, including the Earth, were formed in the immediate vicinity of the Sun, whereas the so-called gas and ice giants were formed at a greater distance. The Our Solar System – Our Solar System Maple Leaf coin in color is delivered in a protective capsule including an illustrated product card.

* This coin has been colored by a private company.
