The short answer? Yes.
If a planet reaches a high enough mass, its gravity becomes sufficient to begin the fusion process. The cutoff is around 13 times the mass of Jupiter. When a planet has accumulated that much mass, we call it a Brown Dwarf. Within the astronomy community, there's a bit of disagreement as to whether a Brown Dwarf should be considered a star, or a planet. Whether it is, or it isn't, we know that anything more massive than a Brown Dwarf will definitely be a star. So, while the exact dividing line is a bit confused (even the 13 times Jupiter thing is more a guideline), it's safe to say that anything big enough to sustain nuclear fusion is too big to be a planet.
Yes, stars are A LOT larger than planets.Not necessarily some stars like neutron stars and white dwarfs are only 20 km across. That is much smaller than earth.
No stars are many, many, many, many, many miles away from each other since the only star in our solar system is the sun I think this could have been easily answered.
Stars has much more gravity then planets
Some do
Stars do, by their own power. Planets merely reflect light.
No. Stars are their own class of of objects. In simple terms planets orbit stars and moons orbit planets.
Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.
First of all, planets are way smaller than stars, stars are probably 10-1000's of times bigger than plants. Another thing is stars produce nuclear energy in their core so they burn and give of heat, which by far planets don't give off. The third thing is Stars have more gravity than planets so they make smaller bodies orbit around them. Planets are dark balls of rock and gas that orbit a star and stars are giant balls of hot gases that makes its own light and heat
No, planets don't give off light, stars did.
Stars do, by their own power. Planets merely reflect light.
No. The stars make their own light, but the planets only relect light from the sun.
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.
No. Stars are their own class of of objects. In simple terms planets orbit stars and moons orbit planets.
stars make their own light and planets get theirs from the sun!!!!!!!!!! hi!!!! :):>
Planets reflect light from the sun. Stars emit their own light.
planets do not shine with their own energy but shine because of energy of stars. they revolve around stars
Extrasolar planets are planets found orbiting stars other then our own.
Planets orbit stars.
There are 8 planets in our own SOLAR SYSTEM, including Jupiter; according to current research, it seems that most of the stars in our Milky Way have their own planets. That means there are probably over a billion stars in our Milky Way; most of these stars have not been discovered yet.
A star and a planet, both have cores.
stars, the planets have to get heat from stars
