Does mars twinkle in the night sky?
Stars twinkle. Planets shine or glow steadily.
Why do planets need their stars?
Planets do not technically need their respective stars, but stars keep planets in orbit and provide heat and light to the planets.
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Are stars brighter than planets?
Stars are intrinsically brighter than planets, typically. Planets (in general) shine by reflected starlight, whereas stars produce their own light. The exception are black dwarfs, which are burned out stars, and neutron stars which do not emit much light in the visible spectrum. Some planets glow a bit in the infrared from their own internal heat as well. As seen from earth Venus outshines any star, and Jupiter rivals Sirius, Arcturus, and Vega in brightness. These stars are all brighter than Mars and Saturn. The reason the planets appear brighter than some stars is because they are very close, while the stars are very, very far away.
Does a planet glow?
No. planets do not glow, they reflect light, like the moon does. The moon does not glow by itself. the light from the sun hits it and reflects and that light is the light we see comign from the moon. The other planets also do this likewise.
Does mars twinkle in the night sky?
Stars twinkle. Planets shine or glow steadily.
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.
When was Glow Stars created?
Glow Stars was created on 1993-05-17.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
How do planets glow?
They don't glow. They reflect the light from the sun.
What is hotter planets or stars?
stars, the planets have to get heat from stars
Why do planets need their stars?
Planets do not technically need their respective stars, but stars keep planets in orbit and provide heat and light to the planets.
What Colour Is A Star That Is Very Cold?
There are no stars that are very cold. Even the "coolest" stars are at thousands of degrees hot; if they weren't capable of supporting nuclear fusion, they would not be stars at all - they would be planets. The "coolest" stars glow a deep red, and are not very bright.
What is responsible for making the stars shine?
Stars are formed when elevation gass escapes the sun. They will then catch heat from planets, the planets orbit will then place the stars in a special order. Then the star will glow for 10,000 years then will die.
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Which pulling force do planets and stars have?
Planets and stars have gravity.
