The preposition is followed by its object (and words that modify the object in the prepositional phrase). A preposition is a word that occurs before a noun/pronoun in a clause. Preposition means, pre-before and position-the object's location.
The most widely accepted scientific explanation for the formation of the Solar System is called the Solar Nebular Model. According to this model, the entire Solar System formed around 4.5 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a small fraction of a giant molecular cloud, also known as a nebula.
The various planets are thought to have formed from the solar nebula, the disc-shaped cloud of gas and dust left over from the Sun's formation. The currently accepted method by which the planets formed is accretion, in which the planets began as dust grains in orbit around the central protostar.
