The politically correct reply is that all the planets formed from a dust cloud that was spinning around the sun. If you believe that, well, . . . I've got this bridge for sale.;-) The interesting reply is that we were once a binary star system until the Greater Human Intergalactic Civilization decided to put a colony here. (It was a nexis for jump gate portals.) And so they ripped apart one of the stars by spinning it so fast it came apart. And then they took the core and made earth, terraforming it, and seeding it with life, finally with mankind.
