Stars are not planets. They are like our sun and may or may not have planets orbiting around them. Stars are hot and the heat makes them look like bright lights in the sky on a clear night. Planets do not create very much, if any, visible light and are much harder to see because they only reflect the light from stars.
Definitely not. Stars are much larger, and are made entirely of gas. Stars use nuclear fission to produce energy. Planets are smaller objects that are made of solids, liquids, and gases. Planets also revolve around stars.
The only star in our solar system is the Sun.
The planets in our solar system include Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (Pluto is no longer a planet).
No, planets are planets. People think that the Sun is a planet, but it actually is a star, like in the question.
no. planets are bodies that revolve around starts. in our solar system, the planets revolve around the sun (which is a star).
No, they are more like suns in the distance.
No, they are `like distant suns`.
They're all distant. The gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn) are more distant than the inner planets (Mars, Venus). Exoplanets (planets around other stars are even (far) more distant.
They change position against the background of the distant stars because they are much closer to us, and they are orbiting around the sun, as are we.
Planets do not technically need their respective stars, but stars keep planets in orbit and provide heat and light to the planets.
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Distant stars give off less light
No. We know what the stars are. They are not planets. They are distant suns, many of which do have undiscovered planets.
They're all distant. The gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn) are more distant than the inner planets (Mars, Venus). Exoplanets (planets around other stars are even (far) more distant.
The night time stars are suns, so distant they appear as points of light. Note that the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can be seen without a telescope and can be mistaken for stars.
Light years are used to measure distance from Earth to distant stars and planets.
We do not know. So far, organic molecules have been located on planets and in distant stars, but this is not proof that organic life exists there.
They change position against the background of the distant stars because they are much closer to us, and they are orbiting around the sun, as are we.
Distant Stars was created in 1981.
Distant Stars has 352 pages.
Planets orbit stars.
stars, the planets have to get heat from stars
Planets are tremendously closer than the stars are. Even the closest star (other than the sun, which is also a star) is tens of thousands of times farther away than the most distant planet in our solar system.
Planets do not technically need their respective stars, but stars keep planets in orbit and provide heat and light to the planets.
