What are two ways that planets are different from stars?
1) Although planets can be composed primarily of rock or gas, only stars are objects made of gas that are massive enough to support a nuclear fusion reaction. 2) Although planets and stars can orbit stars (as in binary systems), stars never orbit planets.
Do planets and moons have stars?
Moons do not have stars, as they usually orbit around planets. Planets do not have stars either, as they orbit stars like our Sun. However, planets and moons can be illuminated by light from stars.
Are all stars and planets are about the same age?
All of the planets are in the same atmosphere. All of the planets are unique. All of the planets are considered planets. All of the planets have moons. All of the planets are named after a mythical person or thing.
Why do planets appear to move through the background of stars?
Planets appear to move through the background of stars because they orbit the Sun at different speeds. As the Earth and other planets move in their orbits, their positions relative to the background stars change, causing them to appear to move across the sky. This is known as planetary motion.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
Are stars planets from different galaxies?
Through intense research it has indicated that stars are not only luminous balls of plasma held by gravity, but are also planets from different galaxies. From a distance, they may seem like stars, but are in fact planets. So yes, you are correct, planets are stars from different galaxies.

In what way do planets look different from stars?
Firstly, planets are way way smaller than the stars! That's because you can see stars in the night but never planets. Also stars produce nuclear energy in their core so they give thermal ( heat ) energy. Also stars have more gravity than planets.
Do planets and moons have stars?
Moons do not have stars, as they usually orbit around planets. Planets do not have stars either, as they orbit stars like our Sun. However, planets and moons can be illuminated by light from stars.
Are star and planet alike?
