When they explode, they become different elements such as helium, iron, blah blah blah. These elements are what create the planets because they send out debris. These collide with other big debris and start to create planets.To create these elements, when the stars explode, their hydrogen atoms start fusing together. The longer they're fusing, the higher number in the periodic table they'll get. This is why oxygen, iron, silicone, and other low numbered elements are so much more abundant than higher ones. You will never find an all gold planet cuz it's extremely unlikely that a planet got bombarded with only gold particles.</blockquote>
