No. Planets are formed after stars are and in most cases planets are consumed by the same star. Some stars can exist long after they have exhausted their supply of hydrogen and heavier element as red giants. Some even may last over 100 of trillions of years.

Why do you see stars twinkling but planets do not?
the stars emitt its own light. But the planets do not have any own light. It absorbs the light from the stars like a sun. It just reflects the light. And also the stars are far away from the earth than the planets. So we can found the twinkling of stars but not the planets.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
What is hotter planets or stars?
stars, the planets have to get heat from stars
How big are stars to planets?
Planets are a lot bigger than stars except the sun... the sun is a star. So to me the answer is a star is bigger and the stars are also smaller.Let's think about the actual sizes, not just how they appear in the sky.You may be thinking of the apparent sizes as seen from Earth. Stars like our Sun are a lot bigger than planets and there's lots of stars bigger than the Sun.However there are also stars a lot smaller than the Sun. So some stars aresmaller than some planets.For example "white dwarfs" have a lot more mass than the Earth, but they arenot much bigger.Let's be clear though, most stars are bigger than planets.
How are stars and planets the same and how do they differ?
Similarities: Stars and planets can appear the same - like pinpoints of light in the night sky. Differences: Planets are rock or gas, and do not glow by themselves but reflect the light of stars which illuminate them. Stars fuse hydrogen into helium and give off enormous amounts of energy, some in the visible range. Stars are MUCH bigger than planets.
Are there more stars than planets?
Yes. 200 billions stars and 8 planets in our solar system.
Why do planets appear to move through the background of stars?
planets are much closer to us than the stars
Which is bigger the planet or the star?
On the whole stars are much larger than planets, but there are some dwarf stars that are smaller than giant planets.
Why do planets seem brighter than stars?
Some planets seem brighter - not all of them. Planets are quite near to us, as compared to the stars.
The planets appear to move through the background of stars because?
planets are much closer to us than the stars
How large are stars compared with planets?
Almost all stars are significantly larger than almost all planets.
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.
Why do planets appear brighter than stars?
Because they're very close to the sun and thus reflect a lot of the sunlight. It also helps that they are very close to us in terms of the other stars in the sky.
Is 250 planets larger than 100 stars and 100 asteroids?
YES, 100 stars and 100 asteroids are larger than 250 planets
How is the formation of stars different from the formation of planets?
Planets are pieces of material that orbit a star such as the earth orbits the sun. Stars are 'suns' and are distributed throughout the universe. Stars are much larger than planets hence the reason that at night stars can be seen in the sky and planets cant even though the stars are much futher away than the other planets in our solar system.
Can blue stars get colder than planets?
No. Blue stars are the hottest stars, far hotter than any planet.
