 What are rogue planets?


  Um. Okay! Let's start with the basics? What is the meaning of the word 'Interstellar'? Don't worry, I also knew the exact definition of it after I watched the whole movie of Interstellar!

  So, Interstellar is the name to all the parts of the universe that aren't in influence of any star's gravity. Now you get it. Huh? But it question is what are rogue planets! Here are they:

  Not all planets form and stay around stars. Astronomers estimate that there could be more than 200 billion of them floating free and drifting through our Galaxy. This means they are floating in the interstellar!

  These ‘rogue’ planets were thought to have been kicked out of their home systems. While this is true for some, other planets may have formed completely independently of an accretion disc (as was the case for our Solar System) instead forming from the collapse of tiny, cold clouds known as globulettes. 

  They are less likely to boast life as they chill out (a lot) in the interstellar without any magnetic field, atmosphere and gravity!
