They're both spheres and are both in a solar system...other than that...not much!
They both orbit a larger object. Planets orbit stars, moons orbit planets.
Something similar between a planet and a star is they are both formed by the accumulation of debris in space. Some planets are called gas giants which are similar to stars.

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.
What are some ways the stars in the photo could be grouped or classified?

In what ways are the moons stars and planets interrelated?
Moons are natural satellites that orbit planets, planets orbit stars like our Sun, and stars are part of galaxies that contain planets and moons. Moons are gravitationally bound to planets while planets are gravitationally bound to stars. All three are part of the same interconnected celestial system.
What are 3 ways inner planets are alike?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The inner planets all have a clear solid surface, unlike gaseous planets. The inner planets do not have a ring system. The inner planets are of similar densities.
Why do planets move relative to the stars?
Planets move relative to the stars due to their orbits around the Sun. The motion of planets is influenced by the gravitational pull of the Sun, resulting in their movement across the night sky in relation to the more distant stars.
Name some ways inner planets are similar?
they are all small rocky planets [earth,mercury,venus,mars]
Are galaxies related to planets?
Galaxies are generally a collection of stars. But within any galaxy, there are lots of other objects, including planets. So galaxies are related to planets in some ways.

Name two ways astronomers can find planets around other stars?
microlensing

What things are in the solar system and milky ways and planets?
Comets, solar flares, asteriod belt, stars
Are there other stars that have planets apart from the sun?
Scientists used to wonder; are planets rare, or are they common? Arguments went both ways. But over the past 10 years or so, we have discovered over 300 planets orbiting other stars. With the rapid improvement in space-based telescopes and better image processing software, it begins to look like planets, and planetary systems, may be the norm; that single stars without planets may be the unusual case.

What are some ways a cat and a tree are similar and what are some ways they are different?
cats like to climb trees
How are mars and earth similar?
Earth and Mars are both terrestrial planets. Both planets have about the same amount of dry land surface areas. Mars, like Earth, has volcanoes, canyons, and impact craters.
How does gravity act in the galaxy?
Various ways. Gravity of stars act on planets and cause them to rotate around them, as well as asteroids that get caught in gravity fields and fall to the plant's surface.
