All planetary systems have similar formation conditions. It is to be expected that the arrangement of the different celestical bodies within the system is always about the same:

Central star - telluric planets - gas planets and different smaller aggregations resp. fragments of material matter in more or less irregular orbits.

This means that a gas planet like Jupiter is never to find close to the central star as the telluric planets and a planet like Earth or Venus never rotates at a distance of Jupite or Saturn.
