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

No, the stars actually make the planets.


Why can you see stars and planets in the night sky?

You see stars because nuclear fusion is going on inside them, generating huge amounts of energy, and some of it leaves the star in the form of visible light. In other words, stars make their own light, and they are sources of light. You see planets, moons, and anything else in the sky, because the sun shines on them and lights them up, like a flashlight.

Why is it difficult to take pictures of extrasolar planets?

To get a direct image of a planet, we need to gather the light it is reflecting. Planets in our own solar system are much closer and thus, they appear bigger - and they can often be found far enough away from where the Sun appears to be, so that the Sun's light doesn't affect the imaging effort.However, when a star is many light years away, and a planet is around it, it will appear very, very close to its parent star - which is essentially blinding it out.Imaging trying to gather the light reflected off a grain of sand which is sitting next to a large flashlight shining in your face.


Does Uranus make light on its own?

Are Stars cold and make light?

Stars make their own light, but they are not cold. Stars are extremely hot. We do not feel their heat because they are incredibly distant.
