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

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


Why are Terrestrial planets closer to the sun then the Jovian planets?

Terrestrial planets are made of denser materials than Jovian planets. The planets were primarily formed from the left over disc of dust that orbited our sun when it first formed. The heavier elements were draw closer to the sun by gravity and the lighter ones flung further outward by their high orbital speed.
