The Formation of Solar Systems
40:01 - 46:33 (06:31)
Modern models of the formation of planets show that starting a solar system with upwards of 30 planets may not result in stable orbits. More than half the stars in the night sky reveal that they may be in pairs, triples, or just multiple stars in a system, which can affect the evolution of a solar system.

Modern models of planetary formation suggest starting with upwards of 30 planets and allowing the orbits to sort themselves out.

Summary
Modern models of planetary formation suggest starting with upwards of 30 planets and allowing the orbits to sort themselves out. This approach can be used to quickly evolve a solar system to achieve the Goldilocks effect.

More than half of the stars in the night sky are part of multiple star systems, which makes it less likely for such systems to have planets due to gravitational ejection.

Summary
More than half of the stars in the night sky are part of multiple star systems, which makes it less likely for such systems to have planets due to gravitational ejection. Single star systems are not as common as believed.
