Galaxies are formed by stars, planets, comets, meteors, and other space bodies.

Stars have their own source of energy, tones of hydrogen burned into hellyum every second, while planets don't have, and get heat from the nearest star. Stars are the furnace of the universe eventually allowing planets to develop life, like the Earth.
