If you are an amateur then forget getting a telescope unless you are willing to get a very good one costing several hundreds of pounds or dollars. Cheap 'toy' telescopes are next to useless, as they claim to have great magnification, but the image is usually very poor and grainy and impossible to see properly because the optics and light gathering power are usually pretty poor. Also, the mounting of toy telescopes are usually flimsy and result in a great deal of shake. Often a good mount is as espensive as the telescope itself. A good pair of binoculars with a tripod to reduce shake should be perfectly adequate for seeing the craters on the moon, Jupiter and its moons, Venus, and large star clusters and nebulae like the Pleiades. The rings of Saturn may be too small for a small pair of binoculars, and so in this case a decent telescope is better.

Are all suns stars?
No, all stars aren't suns. A sun is a star that is at the center of a solar system. Planets rotate around the sun. Planets don't rotate around a normal star. A star can be found anywhere around the universe. That's not the case with planets. Planets have to be in a solar system and a sun has to be in the center. If this is the case with a star, then that star can be called a sun.

The way planets and stars are different?
stars make their own light and planets get theirs from the sun!!!!!!!!!! hi!!!! :):>
How do planets and stars send light to us?
Planets reflect light from the sun. Stars emit their own light.
Where are the planets found?

Why can you see planets and stars on a night?

Which of these objects reflect light and which emit light Comets Asteroids Planets Sun Meteors Stars?
Reflectors: Comets, asteroids, planets Emitters: The sun, meteors, stars The sun is a star.
If the stars are like the sun then why don't the others planets stay warm?
The other planets in our are warmed by the sun, some more than others depending on their distance to the sun. The other stars are too far away to warm the planets.
Are all suns stars?
