How were the planets created?

Question

How were the planets created?

Answer 1

well. it was formed and created by small particles of gravity that pulls small substances like meteorites..and also with the help of the hydrogen and helium. it also make up the atmosphere of each planets and some particles of the hydrogen and helium mixed up and combine to form a new part of their atmosphere.

Answer 2

GOD

Answer 3

  They were created when the rocky debris from a super nova crashed into the surrounding hydrogen field.

  The ensuing collision produced a giant smoke ring that evolved into the sun and the planets.

Answer 4

LISTEN MATHEUS!

There are a lot of very good answers here, that you can take very seriously.

HOWEVER, no one has mentioned one of the MOST IMPORTANT physical concepts involved.

The so-called "Attraction Of Heavenly Bodies".

This "Phenomenon" can very well be responsible for the formation of LARGE(R) "Planets" and such, et. al..

You may want to note:

In the 9th century, the eldest Banū Mūsā brother, Muhammad ibn Musa, in his Astral Motion and The Force of Attraction, hypothesized that there was a force of attraction between heavenly bodies, foreshadowing Newton's law of universal gravitation

Answer 5

God spoke them into being

Answer 6

Big Bang theory:

something exploded of great mass, greater than anything in the universe, this caused a bunch of rocks and energy to fly out in all directions, then they started to clump together to form planets and the sun!! look it up.

Answer 7

The REAL answer is that the planets are star dust.

1) Out of the Big Bang came a lot of energy and matter, mostly hydrogen.

2) The hydrogen clumped together and ignited into massive stars.

3) These stars generated all the carbon, oxygen, iron and all the other elements.

4) These stars exploded with enormous violence so that they shot their material out into space.

5) This material as space dust found itself around a smaller star.

6) The dust orbited the sun and clumped together into planets.

Answer 8

Answer 10

There are actually a lot of theories explaining how the planets are formed. But the most famous and accepted one is the Big Bang Theory..

Answer 11

Big Bang.

There's a wikipedia link. But I advise you search on other websites that are more reliable too.  

Answer 12

They were created by planet creators.

Answer 13

Dust in the nebula around the sun stuck together and started forming bigger rocks. These rocks got sorted by the gravity into a common plane, the ecliptic. Now, at one point, there had been hundreds of small planetoid. They collided with each other, breaking up or forming bigger planets. The composition of the planets depended on their initial gravity and the matter around them. Most matter was around Jupiters orbit, being blow into the position by the solar wind of the young sun, that's why the inner planets are rocky planets and not gas giants.

Collisions had also a big impact on the planets. Mercury is today a very dense planet. The current theory of it's creation states, that a collision stripped it of much of its outer mantle and crust, leaving only the dense core of the initial planet behind.

The Moon also got created by a collision of a Mars sized planet with the young Earth, which separated a lot of material from the young earth.

Not all questions about the creation of the planets are already answered by scientists, but the general theory of their creation inside a disk of dust and gases is now sound and observed also outside the solar system.
