The Solar System formed in a disk of gas and dust whose constituents revolved around the Sun in the same direction. In the final stages of planetary formation, trillions of bodies were expelled beyond the reach of the planets, forming a relatively thin disk of debris. The Galaxy's tidal forces then modified this structure into a spherical shell known as the Oort cloud that remains gravitationally bound to the Sun.
