Planets form from particles in a disk ofgas and dust, colliding and sticking together as they orbit the star. The planets nearest to the star tend to be rockier because the star's wind blows away their gases and because they are made of heavier materials attracted bythe star's gravity.

Planets that are rocky and are made up of some minerals are called terrestrial planets and the planets which are just a ball of gas are called Jovian planets.
