1. A cloud of dust and gas forms

2. The nebula shrinks

3. The temperature increases

4. The nebula spins

5. The nebula flattens into a disk

6. Nuclear fusion takes place

Explanation:

The sun was born in solar nebula. The solar system was formed in the following events.

Firstly, a cloud of dust and gas formed which. This is the stellar nursery - the nebula. The nebula started shrinking under its own gravitation due to which the temperature also started rising. It started spinning and shrinking more under its own gravitational force. A disk like structure is formed. A Protostar Sun is born. The temperature and pressure increases sufficiently such that Nuclear fusion kicks in which generates heat and light. The remnant forms the planets, asteroids and other parts of the solar system.
