The video explains the formation of the solar system from a gas and dust cloud, which was initially spherical. Over time, the cloud's rotation and particle collisions led to a flat solar system where planets orbit in the same direction. This process also explains the flatness of Saturn's rings and some galaxies. However, irregularities like Pluto's inclined orbit occur due to non-uniform cloud density and imperfect collisions. The video also discusses why Earth and other planets are not flat, emphasizing the role of intermolecular forces and rotation in maintaining their spherical shape.
