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

How are planets an stars different?
Plants are normal and stars are like comets
What are two ways that planets are different from stars?
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.
What are three stars that have been found to have extrasolar planets?
You can find the names of some 260 different stars with planets circling them here: http://exoplanet.eu/
How is the formation of stars different from the formation of planets?
Planets are pieces of material that orbit a star such as the earth orbits the sun. Stars are 'suns' and are distributed throughout the universe. Stars are much larger than planets hence the reason that at night stars can be seen in the sky and planets cant even though the stars are much futher away than the other planets in our solar system.
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.
Are stars planets from different galaxies?
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.
Are the stars in the sky different planets and moons we have not discovered yet?
No. We know what the stars are. They are not planets. They are distant suns, many of which do have undiscovered planets.
The way planets and stars are different?
stars make their own light and planets get theirs from the sun!!!!!!!!!! hi!!!! :):>
What planets are death stars?
A planets and stars are different things, so a planet can never be a death star.
How are planets an stars different?
Plants are normal and stars are like comets
How is a moon different from a planet?
Planets orbit stars, moons orbit planets. That is the only difference.

Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
How do you think Stonehenge could track down movements of stars and planets?
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.
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 is hotter planets or stars?
stars, the planets have to get heat from stars
