Not sure what you're asking here. The Sun, as all are stars, is a gas giant, mostly hydrogen. The entire solar system started forming at the same time, from the Solar Nebula.

@Northwest why can't sun attract its own particles and forms a solid ball like planets when it has such a large gravitational force?

Our sun was born out of the Solar Nebula, a massive hydrogen-based dust cloud. The trigger could be a star explosion in the vicinity (supernova), sending a massive shock wave causing parts of the Solar Nebula to compress/collapse. Another possibility is that over a million+ years, massive gravitational fields could have also caused parts of the nebula to compress/collapse.
At the core would have been the protostar that became the sun. At this point, it is in its [b]nascent[/b] phase.
Millions of years later, as the disc spins faster and faster under massive gravitational forces, it gets smaller and smaller, and hotter and hotter, until a point when it [b]ignites[/b] into a nuclear fusion reaction, causing it to enter its main sequence, the one we're in now.
