Answer to Question 1

As with our solar system, planets would likely orbit in a thin disk, with small, dense planets close to the Sun and larger, jovian-like planets further away because these properties are due to the cumulative effects of cloud flattening during collapse and enhanced heating close to the star. The properties of our solar system that would be less likely to be repeated would be those due to chance events (giant impacts), such as the backward rotation of Venus, the formation of Earth's moon, and the sideways tilt of Uranus.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
