Can earth survive without the sun?

If there was no sun there will not be any centrifugal force for the planets to keep in an elliptical path and if there is no sun then the planet will move out as a stone flying away from a tied thread and probably sun is the primary source of energy the earth without it would be frozen to very low temperatures. -Anandh M

Why do all the planets orbit the sun?

Not all the planets orbit the sun - other stars have planets too. But all the planets in our solar system, which is the system of our sun, revolve around the sun; otherwise they would be in other solar systems. All the planets we can see with our naked eye orbit the sun, since the planets orbiting the sun are the only ones close enough to earth to see without a telescope.


Which explanation accounts for where rocky planets formed?

Rocky planets are formed when the deepest parts of the rock are warm. The planet's sun or protostar making the heavier elements sink to the deepest parts and stay there by warming the planet. The basic answer is that planets that are mainly gas could not survive close to the Sun. The temperature would cause the gas to escape into space.
