Not necessarily. In a few billion years, our sun will exhaust its nuclear fuel, and, for all practical purposes, "die". Planets closer to the sun will be consumed, but planets farther away will be flung away.

It's very very probable that such an event has happened sometime in the past somewhere in the universe, so much so, that I'd be willing to bet my left arm on it. Those planets are drifting, until captured by another gravitational entity.

But the creation of planets most likely has to start with the creation of a star, if that's what you were asking. Hydrogen and Helium will always combine to form the lower elements required in a star first before creating the higher elements that are required for a "planet".

Of course, there are quantum loopholes that would allow anything (and I mean anything, like a giant space breathing cat to spontaneously appear in the center of the milky way and to disappear a split second later), but we'll discount those.

Why do planets revlolve around the sun?

Inertia is trying to keep each planet moving in a straight line, and the sun's gravity is trying to pull each planet into the sun. The resultant of those two vectors is the orbital path each planet follows.


How does the temperature of each planet relates to its distance from the sun?

It relates because if the planet is closer resieves more light from the sun.


What are the distances from each planet to the sun?

What point in a planet's orbit is closest to the sun?

The perihelion is the closest point to the Sun in the orbit of a planet.It is different for each planet based on the elliptical variation, but will always occur at the same point in each orbit.


The planets revolution from the sun?

Each planet in our solar system revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit. The time it takes for a planet to complete one revolution around the sun is known as its orbital period. This period varies for each planet based on its distance from the sun.

Why does each planet have different facts?

Each planet has different characteristics, such as size, distance from the sun, and composition, that result in unique facts about each planet. Factors like gravity, atmosphere, and temperature also play a role in determining the specific features and conditions found on each planet.
