Children??? I fail to see how a binary relationship can be extended to that of a relationship between a parent and child.
It was that sort of approach that saw humans asserting they were related to the Gods ...somehow the Sun..and look at the rot that nonsence has shackled humans to as a result.
Metaphores and the like is best left to fiction and has no place in science or the description of planets or their behaviour.
