What If We Could Create a New Planet?

Welcome to the Solar System construction zone. Today you’ll be using our cosmic sandbox to build a brand new planet. What would you need to create a rocky planet like Earth? Where should this planet be located to be habitable? And how would this affect the rest of our Solar System? What are planetesimals?

00:00 Building your own planet.
00:39 Planetesimals and protoplanets.
02:50 Four key elements to constructing a planet.
05:08 Picking out the perfect location for your planet.

What if having a planet on the other side of the Sun, and the planet would be in Earth's zone, but it would move at the same speed as Earth? So the 2 planets could coexist without actually ever disturbing each other. :)

When I was like 10-12 years old, I would like to loose myself in imagining our planet earth could be moved away from it's position and travel. I would also imagine the atmosphere could be upgraded. I thought I could share this here. Don't roast me.
