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.
First of all, planets are way smaller than stars, stars are probably 10-1000's of times bigger than planets. 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.
Stars are nuclear powered fusion gas balls. Planets are solid objects that rotate around stars. Planets get their energy from the star they orbit. Stars give the planets that rotate around them their energy from nuclear fusion.
Through intense research it has indicated that stars are not only luminous balls of plasma held by gravity, but are also planets from different galaxies. From a distance, they may seem like stars, but are in fact planets. So yes, you are correct, planets are stars from different galaxies.
No. We know what the stars are. They are not planets. They are distant suns, many of which do have undiscovered planets.
stars make their own light and planets get theirs from the sun!!!!!!!!!! hi!!!! :):>
A planets and stars are different things, so a planet can never be a death star.
Plants are normal and stars are like comets
Planets orbit stars, moons orbit planets. That is the only difference.
1) Although planets can be composed primarily of rock or gas, only stars are objects made of gas that are massive enough to support a nuclear fusion reaction. 2) Although planets and stars can orbit stars (as in binary systems), stars never orbit planets.
Planets orbit stars.
By, Looking at the rocks and its different patterns to see where the stars or planets are located and you can probably use its different patterns as a compass.
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.
You can find the names of some 260 different stars with planets circling them here: http://exoplanet.eu/
stars, the planets have to get heat from stars
