Much of human suffering is caused by humans. The rest is caused by what we've labelled as natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes etc.

I suppose it would depend on what was happening in nature where individual planets are concerned. I'm guessing there would be a lot of suffering if a sentient race's planet was hit by a giant asteroid.
As we haven't found any sentient beings on other planets yet we can't say how much of their suffering would be self inflicted. Aft er all, we can't just assume that sentient aliens would be just like humans.
