Re: Same wrong stuff, different day...
That is, that planets are nothing but cooled stars.
​
Well, the mass of the sun is approximately 332,950 times the mass of the earth. What happened to the remaining 332949/332950ths of the star's mass when it cooled to the earth's size ?

(And the sun is a reasonably modest sized star - there's way bigger ones out there).
