Jupiter and Saturn, largely gaseous, were once secondary suns before their formation as separate space bodies. [1]
Saturn and Jupiter were formed from the more massive and bulging central portions of a vast pinnacle of matter disgorged during the origin of the solar system. [2]
Saturn and Jupiter, formed from the central portions of the gravity bulge, captured most of the material stolen from Angona, as evidenced by the retrograde motion of certain satellites. [3] Saturn's rings are fragments of disrupted satellites, like shooting stars swarms from larger bodies disrupted by tidal gravity. [4] Jupiter and Saturn briefly acted as secondary suns due to their high concentration of superheated solar gases. [5]
