Yes. Planets orbit around the stars, so the stars must have preceded the planets.

Additionally, our concept of the "big bang" implies that the early universe was composed of 98% or more hydrogen, a percent and a bit as helium, and "everything else" as about 1%. All of the heavier solid elements were created in supernova explosions in the cores of massive stars.

Did God make the planets before making the earth?

According to Genesis, God created the lights in the heaven - the sun, moon, stars and planets - on the fourth day, and placed them in the firmament above the earth.

They now know that the earth is just one of the planets that circle the sun, and that these planets were almost certainly formed at the same time.

If planets are formed by exploding stars and our star Sol is still here could we be a second generation solar system Sol II?

Planets are not formed by exploding stars!Planets are formed of the material left behind as a star forms from the dust and gasses of a collapsing molecular cloud.A distant exploding star may provide the initial compression wave that triggers the collapse of the molecular cloud leading to the formation of new stars and the planets around them. But there are other mechanisms having nothing to do with stars that might trigger this also.
