a star is a hot flaming ball of gas and dust and emits heat and light while a planet is compsed of metal and rock and doesnt emit light. a plant is also alot smaller than star. think of the sun compared to earth
If the mass of the star were doubledwhat effect would this have on the gravitional attraction between the star and planet?
It would make the gravity of the star have more power.As for your question, it all depends.If the planet was bigger than the star, the star would be pulled in gravatationally(if that's even a word).If the star were bigger than the planet, the planet would be pulled in.
Are the planets nearer to the stars?
Sometimes. The Solar System with all the planets is a tiny thing compared to the distance to even the nearest star. When you see a planet near a star in the sky, it's in line with that star and therefore it's closer to the star than we are, but the difference in distance is extremely slight. At other places in its orbit the same planet could be further away than we are.
