   The main point is, that Sun and Earth are almost exactly of the same age.   
      
   The difference of some million years isn't that long for a star, who was   
   actually a 'teenager' at the age of 27 million years.   
      
   So, our Sun became actually 'pregnant' at an early age, when the Sun   
   wasn't even a star.   
      
   I think this is similar to Jupiter, who will become a star, too, but not   
   that soon.   
      
   Jupiter has already his planetary system, thou the planets are called   
   'Moons'.
