. Scientists believe that Earth and the other planets formed _____.?
They believe the planets formed from a disc of gas and dust called a "protoplanetary disc".
Are space junk formed around other planets?
Yes - no
What types of rock are found in the wolfe creek crater?
The Wolfe Creek Crater in Australia is formed by a meteorite impact and consists mainly of sandstone rocks that were already present in the area before the impact. However, impact-related rocks such as breccia (a mixture of fragmented rocks) and impact melt rocks can also be found in and around the crater. These rocks contain evidence of the intense heat and pressure generated during the impact event.
Why was Earth and other planets not solid when they first formed?
They were made of dust, not rock
How many planets where a long time ago?
The planets in our solar system formed our of the solar nebular/disk from which the Sun was made (as the Sun formed), some 4,600 million years ago. Therefore there have always been roughly the same number of planets as we have now. However, our solar system could have lost one or more of the original planets that were formed as the planets settled into their current positions. As part of the settling process, orbital resonances can cause planets to interact with each other gravitationally and planets can be ejected from the forming solar system. If this did happen, then we do not how may planets there were originally.

Are meteorite hit other planet?
Meteorites hit other planets all the time. In fact, earth get hit the least (about twice every millenium).
Does the size of a planet has any impact on the eccentricity of a planets orbit?
No but the sizes of OTHER planets and planetesimals can and do.
When were planets formed and how?
The planets of our solar system were formed at different times, the earth is known to have formed as a planet about 4.6 billion years ago but other planets in the solar system may have formed earlier or later as they were quite conceivably not formed in the same manner as the earth
Are space junk formed around other planets?
Yes - no
What else was formed when the earth was formed?
The other planets, stars, galaxies, meteors, comets, and asteroids.
What force formed the sun planets and other objects from this nebula?
gravity
Why do some planets have more meteorite craters than others?
The planets with more craters are the ones with less geologic activity. Geologic activity such as erosion, plate tectonics, and volcanic eruptions will wear down, bury, or otherwise destroy impact craters. If there is no geologic activity, then there is nothing to disturb the craters other than later impacts from comets and asteroids.
Why do the gas planets have many moons?
The gas planets are much more massive than the terrestrial planets and therefore have stronger gravity. It is believed that as they formed many of their moons formed around them much like the planets formed around the sun. Other moons are likely captured asteroids and comets.

Is Saturn as old as any of the other planets?
All the planets of our solar system are believed to have formed at about the same period in time.
