Not in our own solar system. The orbits of all the planets in the solar system have stabilized, and there isn't enough mass in the remaining asteroids to form a new planet. Else where, however, there are solar systems that are still forming, with new planets that are yet to form.

What is a piece of rock similar to the material formed into the planets?

A meteorite is a piece of rock that is similar to the material formed into planets. Meteorites are remnants from the early solar system that can provide insights into the processes that formed the planets.


What planets are formed from leftover formation of the sun at the center of the cloud?

All planets are formed form the remains of the solar nebular.


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.


Why inner planets are closer to the sun than outer planets?

The inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets because of the way the solar system formed. When the solar system was still a swirling disk of gas and dust, the inner planets formed closer to the center where it was hotter, while the outer planets formed in the colder regions farther away. This distribution of planets based on temperature led to the inner planets being closer to the sun than the outer planets.


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 new planets forming?

New planets are not forming in our solar system. When you get beyond Neptune, there is large grouping of stellar debris called the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt has enough material to become another planet, but it orbits around the sun too slowly for the material to combine. The planets formed by having asteroid-like rocks collide with one another, and the objects in the Kuiper Belt are spread out too far and don't have enough moment to form anything. There may be new planets forming around different stars. So far there have been around 800 stars found to have planets orbiting them, but there is no indication when those planets were formed. There may be new planets forming around different stars.
