I have a theory that the planets are shaped from chunks of rock and other space debris that get caught in the sun's orbit. Once formed their mass makes them spiral away from the sun and into space.
Scientist say there are creaters where oceans could of existed on Mars, so whats to say Mars once orbited the sun where earth now orbits and then in a few billion years, venus will be full of life?
Can anyone prove me wrong?

The sun is getting hotter. Venus will never have life. Life on earth will be nearly impossible in about a billion years.

I think you should perhaps check to see if we know whether planets' orbits are spiralling inward or outward before trying to explain why they are doing so.

The theory does not have one physic and wouldn't work I'm afraid the sectional formula has nothing so you require qualifications and knowledge to make and publish a theory, otherwise it would only be a belief.
Mistake one: Where do asteroids come from?-A:Planets.
Mistake two: The planets were created as balls of rock from molten capacity of the sun's leftover dust which molted by the sun's heat to solidify into a rocky sphere that a crust thickened to create the surface as magma solidification created a thicker crust beneath as volcanoes and Earthquakes from the broken crust spewed out lava that cooled and formed a rock range that turned to an island when steam created water and rained to create oceans.
Mistake three: Asteroids have not got magma (underground lava) as planets do.
Mistake four: Planets have gravity only asteroid planetoids have gravity, any other doesn't.
Mistake five: The sun was hotter at that point and didn't require the planets to come closer to it for molting and being out for solidification, this would of waited until the sun was cooler.
Mistake six: Craters not Creators.
Mistake seven: Not only craters but there was valleys as rivers or just plate cracks, craters as asteroid hits, as I said up there in this answer that islands can be made by volcanoes making table topped rocks as possible islands, not necessarily islands, ice would of made from minerals and bacteria not necessarily life.
Mistake eight: Mars would not change places with Earth and is very unlikely yet possibly, "half marks on this part".
Mistake nine: Venus is thought to be older than Earth and the chemicals and elements created from now will be still there tomorrow unless a device or mysteric power turns the bad matter away to turn to good matter elements, chemicals and minerals.
Misake ten: In a few billion years time the sun will be a red giant and engluf before anything like that happens, "half marks here".
Total marks: 1-2 + 1-2 = 1 + 8 marks makes 9/10 mistakes.
Sorry but from I as an a professional I think you'll fail.

I don't think things spiral away from the sun as they get bigger...they either crash into it or revolve around it if they increase in size...When our solar system was young and unformed, it was a large (gigantic) disc of circling gas. In the center it condensed and formed the sun simply because gravity was strongest in the center of the disc. beyond the center different "objects" started to condense, crash into each other, accumulate more and more material, and grow. eventually all the material in the disc condensed, cooled, and solidified. The planet now remain in a constant orbit around the sun. If the planets orbited in an almost perfect circle around the sun then maybe they could be seen as slowly getting further away from the sun. But this isn't the case. The eliptical orbits of the planets are very distinct. In order for the planets to leave the solar system the way u explain, the momentum of their motion has to exceed the force of gravity exerted upon the Earth by the Sun. In an elliptical orbit such as the one that the planets follow, all of that energy is matched in a fine balance. The only way that i know to change this is if the mass of the Sun was to suddenly change. Maybe of the sun suddenly exploded or imploded. But there is no good reason that we know of for either of those things to happen.

Here follows a very simple explanation of how the sun and earth can to be.

The entire solar system is formed of gas! Yes the Sun, Earth, Jupiter etc are all made of the same thing.

Approximately 4 billion years ago are large cloud of gas started to collapse, all the matter in the gas started a journey towards a common point. As the atoms started to fall inward the cloud of gas started to rotate, slowly at first but as the radius of the ball of gas got smaller the rotation increased.

The rotating ball of gas slowly gets flattened to a disk, (the process is complex but is due to the rotation and the magnetic field lines created by the disk), at the centre of the disk more and more matter is collecting the density is increasing and so too is the temperature. Eventually there will be enough matter present to raise the temperature high enough that nuclear reactions start taking place and the energy released (photons) make the dense centre of the gas ball shine, a star has been born.

While the centre of the gas ball was getting hot and dense the areas around, all spinning in the same direction, were 'bumping' into each other and over a very very long period of time these clumps of stuff got bigger and bigger. Grains of sand formed, the sand clumped together to form pebbles, which clumped together to form rock, this clumping of stuff continued, clumps the size of mountains forms these continued to clump together until planets were made.


Note: only the inner 4 planets are rocky, the out planets are big balls of gas. They remain gaseous due to there size, they are so massive that solid matter can not form in the extreme pressures caused by their size.
(I don't call Pluto a planet it’s not big enough! but ppl will argue with me on this!)

Our solar system consists of an average star we call the Sun, the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. It includes: the satellites of the planets; numerous comets, asteroids, and meteoroids; and the interplanetary medium. The Sun is the richest source of electromagnetic energy (mostly in the form of heat and light) in the solar system. The Sun's nearest known stellar neighbor is a red dwarf star called Proxima Centauri, at a distance of 4.3 light years away. The whole solar system, together with the local stars visible on a clear night, orbits the center of our home galaxy, a spiral disk of 200 billion stars we call the Milky Way. The Milky Way has two small galaxies orbiting it nearby, which are visible from the southern hemisphere. They are called the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud. The nearest large galaxy is the Andromeda Galaxy. It is a spiral galaxy like the Milky Way but is 4 times as massive and is 2 million light years away. Our galaxy, one of billions of galaxies known, is traveling through intergalactic space.
The planets, most of the satellites of the planets and the asteroids revolve around the Sun in the same direction, in nearly circular orbits. When looking down from above the Sun's north pole, the planets orbit in a counter-clockwise direction. The planets orbit the Sun in or near the same plane, called the ecliptic. Pluto is a special case in that its orbit is the most highly inclined (18 degrees) and the most highly elliptical of all the planets. Because of this, for part of its orbit, Pluto is closer to the Sun than is Neptune. The axis of rotation for most of the planets is nearly perpendicular to the ecliptic. The exceptions are Uranus and Pluto, which are tipped on their sides.

Composition Of The Solar System
The Sun contains 99.85% of all the matter in the Solar System. The planets, which condensed out of the same disk of material that formed the Sun, contain only 0.135% of the mass of the solar system. Jupiter contains more than twice the matter of all the other planets combined. Satellites of the planets, comets, asteroids, meteoroids, and the interplanetary medium constitute the remaining 0.015%. The following table is a list of the mass distribution within our Solar System.
Sun: 99.85%
Planets: 0.135%
Comets: 0.01% ?
Satellites: 0.00005%
Minor Planets: 0.0000002% ?
Meteoroids: 0.0000001% ?
Interplanetary Medium: 0.0000001% ?

Interplanetary Space
Nearly all the solar system by volume appears to be an empty void. Far from being nothingness, this vacuum of "space" comprises the interplanetary medium. It includes various forms of energy and at least two material components: interplanetary dust and interplanetary gas. Interplanetary dust consists of microscopic solid particles. Interplanetary gas is a tenuous flow of gas and charged particles, mostly protons and electrons -- plasma -- which stream from the Sun, called the solar wind.
The solar wind can be measured by spacecraft, and it has a large effect on comet tails. It also has a measurable effect on the motion of spacecraft. The speed of the solar wind is about 400 kilometers (250 miles) per second in the vicinity of Earth's orbit. The point at which the solar wind meets the interstellar medium, which is the "solar" wind from other stars, is called the heliopause. It is a boundary theorized to be roughly circular or teardrop-shaped, marking the edge of the Sun's influence perhaps 100 AU from the Sun. The space within the boundary of the heliopause, containing the Sun and solar system, is referred to as the heliosphere.
The solar magnetic field extends outward into interplanetary space; it can be measured on Earth and by spacecraft. The solar magnetic field is the dominating magnetic field throughout the interplanetary regions of the solar system, except in the immediate environment of planets which have their own magnetic fields.

The Terrestrial Planets
The terrestrial planets are the four innermost planets in the solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. They are called terrestrial because they have a compact, rocky surface like the Earth's. The planets, Venus, Earth, and Mars have significant atmospheres while Mercury has almost none. The following diagram shows the approximate distance of the terrestrial planets to the Sun.

The Jovian Planets
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are known as the Jovian (Jupiter-like) planets, because they are all gigantic compared with Earth, and they have a gaseous nature like Jupiter's. The Jovian planets are also referred to as the gas giants, although some or all of them might have small solid cores. The following diagram shows the approximate distance of the Jovian planets to the Sun.

I'm not sure I understand your hypothesis. Are you saying that it's the mass of the planet that makes it spiral away from the sun? How do you account for the varying masses of the planets that are at different distances from the sun - some being smaller but farther away? Why would any mass stick around to form a planet to begin with if masses are spiraling away?

Your theory has some substance and let's face it, no one really knows anyway, but at present and as far as we know, a group of planets revolves around our star, the sun. They are all tied to it in just the same way that an apple would be by tying it with string and whirling it around your head..the suns gravity holds on to the planets in the same way that the string holds the apple...however, as the sun ages and becomes less dense, it will expand...perhaps well before the last perfect day on earth, the suns gravity will diminish, then Earth will be released in the way you describe.

firstly, it's a lil bit tough to understand your hypothesis... but, at the end, i understand it.

i know that your hyphothesis is similar to the dalton theory of atom. a mass that revolve around the sun will loss their energy slowly, and the orbit will become smaller and smaller, so venus won't revolve in the orbit of earth, because the orbit won't go bigger, but smaller!!!

and, it's only possible for a planet to have a life on it if there is water in that planet [water is the essential factor for life], and this problem is definitely have no relation or connection with the size of orbit...

Ask Stephen Hawking! Actually your right about them being chunks of rock that's obvious.However they are all held in their orbits by the gravitational pull of the Sun, so no they are not spiralling outwards,but they could be knocked out of their orbits by another very large object i.e. an asteroid

Just about every astronomer in the world disagrees with you, but then whadda they know. Personally, I'm completely UNDERwhelmed by your theory.

"...in a few billion years, venus will be full of life?...Can anyone prove me wrong?..."

What a silly challenge! It's like if I said the Sun will start rising in the west in a million years, and then challenge someone to prove me wrong. Sheesh!
