In relation to
all of the above it should be noted again that it is believed that
Jupiter and Saturn remain near their birthplace in the far reaches
of our solar system. But it is widely interpreted that the new found
giant gas worlds with such close orbits have migrated inwards towards
their suns.
They’re common enough that it looks
like they are a normal part of planetary formation. But they’re
not so common that other solar systems like our own, where Earths
co-exist with gas giants that move in wide, circular orbits like
Jupiter’s, won't be found.
