The excess dust and gas in the solar system was primarily removed by the solar wind emitted from the young Sun. This process occurred after the solar nebula collapsed and formed the Sun and planets about 4.6 billion years ago. Solar wind cleared away lighter gases, stabilizing the orbits of the newly formed celestial bodies.
