This question is quite tricky. The planets all orbit the sun on a gravitational field so the way that they are ordered are pretty much completely random because each planet is made up off rock and Lava which broke up from the sun millions of years ago (according to scientist). The stars are pretty much big balls of burning rock, like the sun so just like the planets they broke up form the sun and formed what we call stars, when really they are just meteors, most stars are floating around the Sun, Earth, Mars and Jupiter this is because these planets (and sun) have the biggest gravitational field. others are just floating and nothing really controls where abouts they go.

What is the role that gravity played in the formation of planets stars and solar systems and in determining their motions?

There is no doubt that planets, stars, and solar systems could not ever have formed without gravity. All of these astronomical objects condensed out of clouds of interstellar gas and dust, under the influence of gravity. It is also true that planets orbit stars only because of the gravitational attraction of those stars.


What happens if there is no stars?

If there is no stars. Then all of the planets would be frozen


Are all stars and planets are about the same age?

All of the planets are in the same atmosphere. All of the planets are unique. All of the planets are considered planets. All of the planets have moons. All of the planets are named after a mythical person or thing.


What planets produce their own light?

No, planets don't give off light, stars did.


Does every star have a planetary system?

With current evidence, the answer is no. Whilst many stars will have a planetary system (Solar System) many will not. The prime candidates for not having any planets are binary and multiple star systems. This is because the gravitation tug of the multiple stars, inhibits planet formation. Our closest star system, Alpha Centaur which is a binary system, has failed to produce any planets, whereas further away stars have, This seems to suggest that the theory is at least partly true. Planets have been found in binary systems, but they are rare. So: Not all stars have planets.

Which galaxy are the planets on?

Planets orbit stars, stars orbit a galaxy. Planets are not "on" anything. A lot of stars out there have planets - we are just finding out how many now that we have better techniques to find them. So probably all galaxies have at least some stars with planets.

Why do planets seem brighter than stars?

Some planets seem brighter - not all of them. Planets are quite near to us, as compared to the stars.

What planets has the most stars around it?

Because the stars are relatively so far away, all planets of this solar system have the same number of stars near them.
