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.
