Earth is a rocky planet?<<
one theory/hypothesis/speculation is that there were supermassive stars
(that have lived out their lives and died) in early universe where the
heavier elements than hydrogen were manifactured and the remants of that
were what formed rocky planets. While planets like Jupiter are just
failed stars that weren't quite massive enough to start nuclear fusion
2) If some selection process caused primarily Hydrogen to condense at
the middle, why are the rocky planets closer to
the Sun than the gas giants?<<
happenstance. Dragoslav explains planet density and their distances by
update of Bode's law to Boscovich theory of repulsive and attractive
forces for solar system

Hi,
Questions:
1) If both the Sun and the planets formed from the same gas/dust cloud,
how come the Sun is mostly Hydrogen and the
Earth is a rocky planet?
2) If some selection process caused primarily Hydrogen to condense at
the middle, why are the rocky planets closer to
the Sun than the gas giants?

Crops, not towns, should be planted on floodplains.
Even the ancient Egyptians knew this.
