No. The hottest planets might emit some infrared radiation (heat), but most visible spectrum light would actually be reflected from some nearby star. Stars range from 100 to millions of times as massive as the largest planets, and they shine through the light of nuclear fusion.
What else can I help you with?
How are stars and planets different?
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
Why can you see planets and stars on a night?
The reason you can see planets and stars at night is that their light is faint and the brightness of the sun obscures them during the day. At night, when the sun is not visible, the fainter light from the planets and stars can more readily be seen.
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.
What are two major differences between planets and stars?
Two major differences between planets and stars are their composition and energy production. Stars are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium and generate energy through nuclear fusion in their cores, which produces light and heat. In contrast, planets are made up of various materials, including rock, metal, and gas, and do not produce their own light; instead, they reflect the light of stars. Additionally, stars are typically much larger and more massive than planets.
Why do planets appear brighter than stars?
Planets appear brighter than stars because they reflect more sunlight and have larger apparent sizes in the night sky compared to distant stars. Stars emit light due to nuclear fusion in their cores, while planets reflect light from the Sun, making them appear brighter to us on Earth.
Are there more Stars or Planets?
there are more planets than stars because to every star there could have several planets
Are there more stars than planets?
Yes. 200 billions stars and 8 planets in our solar system.
How are planets different from stars?
Mainly in that they have a smaller mass. To be a "star", an object would need to be able to start hydrogen fusion. This requires a certain amount of mass and pressure at the core - which in turn require a certain minimum mass.
Why do stars twinkle more than planets?
Stars appear to twinkle more than planets because they are farther away. The twinkling occurs because of turbulence in our atmosphere. The stars are so far away they are basically a pinpoint. The light appearing from the stars passes through the Earths atmosphere and as this happens, different colors in the light take slightly different paths depending on the degree of refraction. If colors were perfectly refracted the star might appear as a little group of colors, but the air moves around with solar heating and wind. The light dances around. This causes the "twinkling". Planets are closer than stars. This makes them a larger point or "disc" from which the light is traveling, therefore light is coming from a group of points, rather than just one. Really, planets CAN twinkle if the air is so unsteady that is causes multiple refractions of the light to occur. A more detailed explanation needed? Visit http://astroprofspage.com/archives/1168
The reason that most extrasolar planets are found close to their parent stars?
Most extrasolar planets are found close to their parent stars because current planet detection methods are biased towards detecting larger planets that are closer to their stars due to the limitations of technology. These close-in planets are easier to detect because they have a greater impact on their star's light or motion. As technology and detection methods improve, we are discovering more distant planets from their stars.
How many stars with planets?
There are more than 300 known stars with known planets, and the list gets longer all the time.
Are stars planets or suns in the universe?
Stars are celestial bodies that emit light and heat due to nuclear reactions in their cores, while planets are non-luminous bodies that orbit stars. Suns are another term for stars, specifically referring to the star at the center of our solar system, which we call the Sun.
