أَوَلَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا رَتْقًا فَفَتَقْنَاهُمَا ۖ وَجَعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمَاءِ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَيٍّ ۖ أَفَلَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

Quran, Surah Anbiya, the Prophets, (21:30)

• All of the planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, the Asteroids, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune were part of the Sun, they are 'children' of the Sun. (Pluto's no longer that important... [link])

• There are scientific theories about how Sun 'created' these celestial beings. One attempt was the nebular hypothesis [link] originated by the Germl philosopher Kant in the 18th Century. He and others supported that the current planetary system condensed from a huge mass of hot gas = a nebula. As it shrank it left rings behind which condensed into planets.

• Contemporary astronomers have rejected this view [link].

• Professor Chamberlain and Moulton of the University of Chicago in early 1900 developed another idea called the planetesimal theory. [link] This stated that the mass of the Sun ejected clouds of matter called planetesimals; the larger chunks of these gathered together by gravity and formed planets.

• Sir James Jeans proposed a tidal theory that suggested that a fast moving star passed our sun and draw out 'streamers' which compacted into planets. Another British astronomer, Harold Jeffreys, suggested an actual collision between the sun and the passing star. [link]

• Whatever individuals find with developing technology, discuss and theorise, the fact remains that Allah created our Earth by 'throwing it off' from the sun, and not condensing it:

"By the Earth and Him who extended it"
