Planets don't just appear-they grow, collide, and transform over millions of years. But how does it all happen? What turns tiny bits of space dust into entire worlds? This exciting book takes kids on a journey through the incredible process of planet formation, from swirling clouds of gas and dust to fully formed planets with mountains, oceans, and even atmospheres.

With fun facts, mind-blowing discoveries, and answers to some of the biggest space questions, this book explores why some planets become gas giants while others stay small and rocky, why rings form around certain worlds, and how gravity shapes everything in space. Readers will also learn about exoplanets, strange alien worlds outside our solar system, and what makes Earth the perfect place for life.

Packed with real science and written in a way that sparks curiosity, this book is perfect for kids who love space and want to understand how planets come to be. Whether dreaming of becoming a scientist, an astronaut, or just someone who loves the stars, this book will inspire young minds to explore the wonders of the universe and keep asking big questions about the worlds beyond our own.
