Abstract
Some 4.6 billion years ago contraction and subsequent collapse of an interstellar cloud led to the formation of the solar system. The ratio of heavy elements to hydrogen, increasing continuously in interstellar material, due to the addition of freshly synthesized material from stars, was frozen in for the solar system at this point of time.
