No. The planets make up about a tenth of a percent of the mass of the solar system. Not ten percent. Ten percent of the sun's mass would be enough to make a red dwarf star.

Did the sun claim 50 percent of the solar system's matter when it formed?

No. The Sun is 99.6% of all the mass in the solar system, and half of the remainder is Jupiter.


What are pieces of rock made from the same matter that created planets?

Common minerals like feldspars and metals are pieces of rock that are made from the same matter that created planets


How was the planet mercury formed?

The planets, including Mercury, 4.6 billion of years ago, as part of the process that created the sun. The sun was formed when gases and other matter left in space by the explosion of a star, called a nebula, were pulled together by gravity. Some of the gas and matter did not become part of the sun, but was in orbit around the sun, and over many millions of years, gravity brought this matter together to form each of the planets.


How did the planets start orbiting the sun?

There are three different theries of creation, but I can only remember two of them. 1> divine Creation- the theory that God created the planets and the life on them 2> The Big Bang Theory- the theory that all the matter in space hit together causing a big explosions which created the planets.


How was the earth created according to science?

When the sun was being born, matter that was circling around it formed into planets. There was hundreds of planets, but most of them were destroyed when they crashed into each other. Eventually, only the main 8 planets were left. Then water came on earth from comets.(scientists think so anyway) and life was formed

How do the planets revolving around a star get there speed?

It all started with the Big Bang. All the matter created from the Big Bang eventually formed planets and every thing else. From the moment matter was created during the Big Bang the matter was expanding and moving really fast. So eventually all the planets and stars and galaxies that were formed started to spin around each other from the velocity that was created.

Stars and planets are formed what the nebula collapses creating spinning balls of matter?

True


Stars and planets are formed when the nebula collapses creating spinning balls of matter.?

true


How was your planet thought to have been formed?

Earth, like all planets, was formed by clumps of matter joining together due to gravity.


Why did earth start?

Rings of gas and dust orbiting stars may condense to form young planets or another term planetesimals. After this, it attracts more matter and increase in size to form planets. This is the basic steps of how planets was formed Dark matter ---->galaxy-------> star--------> planets

Did God make the planets?

It depends on your religious belief. But scientifically, a long time ago, gravity pulled matter in all directions, and over time, became planets. YES. The first answer is not scientific. There is more evidence for creation than "gravity pulling the planets together" such as the laws of Thermodynamics, which state that order (planets) cannot come out of disorder (random gravity and matter). Also, since matter bends space and time (Relativity), matter could not be pulled into planetary forms unless someone (God) created matter, time, and space at the same time.

Why were objects that formed farther out in space smaller than the planets?

Objects that formed farther out than space are smaller than the planets because there is less matter available to form them further out from the sun. Less matter results in smaller objects, including asteroids and dwarf planets.
