That refers to "planets" which don't orbit stars - technically they would therefore not be planets, though they may share many other characteristics of planets.

Does a planet have to rotate around a star?

No, a planet does not necessarily have to rotate around a star. There are rogue planets that do not orbit any star and instead wander through space independently. These planets are not bound to a specific star and travel alone through the galaxy.


What causes a rogue wave and what is the damage and wavelength of a rogue wave?

Rogue waves are caused by the interference and combining of different wave systems, leading to a sudden and large wave. They can cause significant damage to ships and offshore structures due to their unexpected size and force. Rogue waves can have wavelengths of around 100-500 meters, making them much larger than surrounding waves.


Why is the earth in the solar system?

The planet we call «Earth» belongs to the solar system because it was formed from the solar nebula that gave birth to the present stellar system we live now, about 4,568 million years ago.And after the formation of the solar system, there was never an astronomical conjuncture that forced out our planet from the Sun's gravitational field.Not even the «giant impact hypothesis» that postulate the violent formation of the binary system Earth/Moon, during the Early Hadean eon - and currently accepted by science - was strong enough to make the Earth a «rogue planet», gravitationally pulled out from our sun's influence.

Astronomers recently discovered a moon that does not orbit a planet?

This type of moon is known as a "moonlet" or a "rogue moon." These moons likely formed separately from planets and now travel through space on their own. Rogue moons can be captured by the gravity of larger celestial bodies, such as planets or stars.


Can a rogue planet end up in our solar system?

It is possible but highly unlikely. A rogue planet that enters the solar system would generally be moving too fast to be captured by the sun's gravity and so would continue out of the solar system unless it is slowed down by a gravitational encounter with one of the planets already here.


How can a planet leave the galaxy yet not lose its satellite?

Although rogue planet might escape a solar system or galaxy, its moon may remain since the moon is held in orbit by the planet, rather than a parent star. The moon will tend to go where the planet goes.
