The present contribution is devoted to some aspects of history and evolution of
the early Solar System. The origin of the Sun, Earth, other planets and its satellites
has long been a matter of great concern for people. Over the past few decades
astronomers and cosmologists have considerably advanced in the perception
of the structure, history, and evolution of the Solar System. However,
one can hardly speak about a proper narrative here; we more often work with
hypotheses. The present paper is structured as follows. First, it outlines the
history of formation of the Solar System in the first billion years of its existence,
when the most considerable changes took place. Then while describing certain
formative processes we show the opportunities to define them in terms of evolutionary
laws and rules. Of course, this paper presents only a few such laws and
rules. We suppose that the present study will be of interest to a reader in two
ways. First, there are quite a few consistent and brief surveys of the Solar System
history accounting the latest achievements in astrophysics and cosmology.
Meanwhile, they are very important and productive for theorizing part of Big
History. Second, the discussion employing the general evolutionary laws and
rules allows defining some common features in the formation of the Solar System
and especially of its planetary system which are characteristic for every
level and stage of Big History. This brings us to the idea of the integrity of Big
History not only in historical and systemic terms but also with respect to its
integrity in detecting general laws, patterns and mechanisms.... view less
