Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe the same things as most other people do about the other planets. They believe that God created the other planets just as He created earth, and that God rules over the other planets just as He rules over the earth. They also believe that the other planets are organized in the way that modern science explains.
Some uniquely Mormon scripture verses about planets are:
D&C 88: 42-43 "…He hath given a law unto all things, by which they move in their times and their seasons; And their courses are fixed, even the courses of the heavens and the earth, which comprehend the earth and all the planets."
D&C 130: 6-7 "The angels do not reside on a planet like this earth; but they reside in the presence of God, on a globe like a sea of glass and fire, where all things for their glory are manifest, past, present, and future, and are continually before the Lord."
Abraham 3:9 "And thus there shall be the reckoning of the time of one planet above another, until thou come nigh unto Kolob, which Kolob is after the reckoning of the Lord's time; which Kolob is set nigh unto the throne of God, to govern all those plents which belong to the same order as that upon which thou standest."

∙ 13y agoMormons have no particular notion of where God came from; however, unlike traditional Christians, Mormons do not believe that God has always been God. In June of 1840, President Snow declared, "As man is, God once was; as God is, man may become" (known as The Snow Couplet). From this one may infer that God somehow became God. That at one time He was less than He is now. Just as Christ grew and progressed during his lifetime on earth, the Father also passed through some manner of progression until He became our Father and our Creator.
Some members of the Church believe that God is an exalted man, meaning that he once was a mortal man living on an earth like this one, but others think this is reading too much into the Snow Couplet.
Still others go so far as to believe that our Heavenly Father and his wife live on a planet called Kolob. They have sex and produce spirit children. These spirits are sent to earth to give life to human babies. Some even believe that there are many, many gods with their own planets who produce spirit children, and the Our Heavenly Father is just one of many who progressed from mortal man to divine god. Some even believe that if they keep the commandments, they can become gods and goddesses, create worlds, and produce spirit children to send to their own earth, but this is REALLY reading A LOT into the Snow Couplet.

Do Mormons get their own planet if they have 9 or more kids?
Mormons do not believe that quantity of kids has anything to do with salvation. Mormons have more than the average amount of kids because they believe in family. Mormons believe salvation consists of receving all that God has. The idea of Mormons receiving their own planet is a bit of saracsm that is pushed by those who do not like the church.
Why do Mormons worship god?
Mormons worship god because we strongly believe in God and want to repay him with all that we can
Is god from another planet mormon belief?
No. The doctrine and scripture of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) never says that God lives on another planet. It does briefly mention that a planet called 'Kolob' is "nearest to the throne of God" (see Pearl of Great Price, Abraham Chapter 3), but it does not say that God lives there, only that He lives near there. Mormons believe that God lives in the Celestial Kingdom of Heaven, where all mankind may dwell with Him if they choose to obey Him.
What do Mormons believe about eternity?
Mormons believe that they will die and go to one of the three heavens:Celestial (being where God is), Telestial, and Terrestial.
Do Mormons believe they will be gods and Does Brooke White believe she will be one of the God-wives?
I don't know who Brooke White is but Mormons believe they can become gods, IF they do certain ceremonies in the temple and keep the vows they make there. Not all Mormons believe they will become gods, because not all Mormons go to the temple and do the ceremonies they believe are required. They do not believe they will become gods but they do believe they will be able to become more like Jesus and god.
Do Protstants believe that Jesus is the son of God?
Yes, they do. It is the Mormons who believe that Jesus was the 1st 'created' son of God and not an eternal God being with the Father.
Are Mormons speaking the truth about God?
I believe that the Mormons (at least the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) are speaking the truth of God. Of course, that may just be because I am an LDS, but I still strongly know and believe that we are speaking the truth about God.
Whose children were turned black by God?
The Mormons believe that Cain and his children were turned black by God.
Why do the Mormons say they are God's chosen people?
Actually, this isn't really a belief of the Mormon people. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that God loves all people equally. They also believe that each person should be given a chance to hear and accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and all people are welcome to become Mormons if they choose to. Mormons are not taught that they are better or more favored than anyone else. Most Mormons would say that they believe they are the people of God, but they do not believe that God 'chose' them over anyone else. Mormons believe that an individual chooses God, and by following Him they become His people.
Do Mormons plan on returning to their home planet Kolob?
No, because Mormons do not believe that Kolob is their home planet. "Kolob" is a planet mentioned in only five verses of Mormon scripture. Each time it is called the planet "nearest to the throne of God". It is not the home of God, nor is it the home of mankind or of Mormons. All that has been revealed about Kolob is that it is near to the place of God and that it's time is the same as God's time. (Presumeably 1000 years on earth is a single day on Kolob - see 2 Peter 3:8) Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do believe believe that our spirits lived with God prior to life on earth, and that the faithful and righteous who have accepted salvation through Jesus Christ will return to live with God after death. However, the place that they will live will NOT be Kolob. Ifthe Celestial Kingdom of God (heaven)is on any known planet, it would be on earth, after it has been cleansed and renewed to recieve its paradisiacal glory following the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and the resurrectionof all mankind.
What do Mormons believe so strong?
Mormons believe that the church of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth by Jesus Christ himself and that the church is led by Jesus Christ through living prophets and apostles. Mormons believe in the bible but the church is directed by revelation from God. Mormons believe that they can know the truth of this and be personally led by their own personal revelation.
What is the relationship from god to Mormons?
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) believe that God is the Father of our spirits and the creator of our bodies, therefore He is our Heavenly Father. They believe that God, our Heavenly Father, is concerned about us just as a father is concerned for his own children. Mormons are encouraged to have a personal relationship with God and to cultivate and nurture that relationship through prayer, worship, and scripture study. They believe that individuals may receive direct revelation from God. You can learn more about what Mormons believe at the "Related Links" below.
