Must they? Depending on where the original atoms of the start system in question are in their journey through the eons, there might not be a lot of rocky material at all in a given system.
- hinkley 3y agoMy somewhat limited understanding of astrophysics is that the source material for the solar system dictates what class of star can form. Supernovas create a certain range of star types and also produce heavy atomic weights.
