What moves stars or planets?
By the gravitational pull
Who moves the planets sun or stars?
How far is the earth to the sun?
What celestial object moves backwards among stars?
planets
How does the Earth probably compare in orbital speed to the other planets?
The Earth moves faster than the planets that are farther from the Sun.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
What is hotter planets or stars?
stars, the planets have to get heat from stars
Are you moving around the sun or it is the sun that moves around the planets?
The planets are considered moving around the sun, even though the sun moves too (in tiny circles opposite the planets' motions). The planets are circling the sun. The sun (dragging the planets along with it) is circling our galaxy's center. Our galaxy (dragging the sun, the planets, and all the other stars) is moving through the universe as well.
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.
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
How can differentiate a star from a planet by looking at it?
If we watch the night sky daily, we will notice that the sky is studded with bluish silver twinkling dots. They are Stars, several light years away. The star look static, hardly moving across the sky. But you can see planets moving across the sky. Planets move on complicated path with respect to the background stars, faster than the speed of the Earth, and sometimes, they even reverse their directions. Every planets moves with different speed on its orbit around the Sun. Thus, the planets position from the Earth changes with time. A stark difference between the stars and the planets is the stars twinkle and planets do not. We all know that the Sun is a star. The reason why it does not twinkle, and appears larger than other stars, is because of its close proximity to Earth.
Which pulling force do planets and stars have?
Planets and stars have gravity.
What planet has the greatest escape velocity and why?
Mercury, because the closer the planet, the faster it moves.
