The Book of Abraham states that Kolob is nearest to the throne of God, and that it's time is the same as the Lord's time (one day there is a thousand years here on earth). God also tells Abraham that it is the greatest of the Kokaubeam that he has seen. That is all we really know.

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 is planet Kolob in the Mormon religion and how do they know about it?
The planet Kolob is mentioned in a less-often used book of scripture called the Book of Abraham, in the Pearl of Great Price. This is everything that Mormons know about Kolob: -Kolob is the greatest of the governing planets and is near to the place of God (Abraham 3:3) -Kolob is according to the Lords time, that is, a day on Kolob is a thousand years on earth (Abraham 3:4) -Kolob governs all the planets in the same order as earth, and is nigh unto the throne of God (Abraham 3:9) -Kolob is the greatest because it is the nearest to God (Abraham 3:16) -The time of Kolob was used on earth during the creation (Abraham 5:13) -Kolob is "the first creation, nearest to the celestial, or the residence of God. First in government, the last pertaining to the measurement of time. One day in Kolob is equal to a thousand years according to the measurement of this earth." (Abraham Facsimile 2 Figure 1) -The sun borrows it's light from Kolob (Abraham Facsimile 2 Figure 5) Kolob is also mentioned in one Mormon hymn, "If you could Hie to Kolob", which is about the grandeur and endlessness of God's creation. The planet Kolob doesn't really hold much doctrinal significance in Mormonism, and is rarely mentioned. It is simply the name of one of the planets mentioned in the Book of Abraham, which discusses astronomy and space as well as the creation of the earth. So, the short answer to "What is Kolob?" A planet mentioned in the Book of Abraham. As for how Mormons know about Kolob, the Book of Abraham was translated by Joseph Smith from papyrus which was believed to have come from the catacombs of Egypt. Mormons believe that it is the actual writing of the Biblical prophet Abraham, and much of it is a retelling of the early chapters of Genesis. You can read The Book of Abraham and the hymn 'If you could Hie to Kolob" at the "Related Links" below.

(See Pearl of Great Price, Abraham chp. 3) However, it specifically mentions that God does not live on Kolob, only near to it. Mormons do not know if Kolob is any planet that mankind has discovered or not.

What is the Planet Kolob to Mormons?
Kolob is mentioned in five verses of Mormon scripture, all in the book of Abraham. These verses are Abraham 3:3, 3:4, 3:9, 3:16 and 5:13. These verses say that Kolob is the greatest star, and is 'nearest to the throne of God'. Kolob follows God's time (1000 years as a single day, according to 2 Peter 3:8).Kolob is rarely brought up in worship services or doctrinal discussions both because very little is known about it, and because it has no bearing on one's salvation. The hymnbook used by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the mainstream Mormon church) contains one hymn about Kolob which is not often sung. You can see that hymn along with all the scripture verses about Kolob at the "Related Links" below.Another answer:Compare the Arabic word Qalb (also anglicized Qolob and Kolob). A star in the Ursa Minor constellation, just barely the second brightest, and appropriately the Beta, star in Ursa Minor, it represents the top front bowl star of the Little Dipper. Just a bit of trivia some might find interesting.
Do Mormons believe in Kolar?
In my 26 years as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church), I have never heard the word 'kolar'. Looking it up online, it is a Czech surname and has nothing to do with Mormonism or religion. Perhaps you mean 'Kolob'? There has recently been interest from non-Mormons about the Mormon belief in Kolob, which according to the Pearl of Great Price (a canonical text in Mormonism) is the planet "closest to the throne of God". Unfortunately that is all that is known about Kolob, as it is only briefly mentioned and is not doctrinally significant. It is simply used in a discussion of astronomy between the prophet Abraham and God, along with several other planets and stars including 'Shinehah', 'Kokob', 'Olea' and 'Kokaubeam'. Kolob is something that is rarely discussed (again because it isn't significant), but is used in a little-sung Mormon hymn, "If You could Hie to Kolob" which is about the infinite eternal nature of God's creation.
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.
