Rogue Planets: Sky Wanderer?
Ever wonder what would happen to earth if the sun dies? Earth and other planets in the solar system will become orphans. This is exactly what a rogue planet is.
A rogue planet is a planet that doesn’t orbit a star. Rogue planets were somehow kicked out of their stellar system, and they float into space free.
Planets can become rogue planets if their star dies or they encounter a massive collision. Such events push the planets out of their stellar system into a never ending journey throughout space.
