Relative to the Earth, almost all stars are moving faster than any planet is.
By the gravitational pull
How far is the earth to the sun?
Planets orbit stars.
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
The celestial object that appears to move backwards among the stars is a planet in retrograde motion. This happens when a faster-moving planet "laps" a slower-moving outer planet from the viewpoint of Earth, causing it to look like it is moving backwards relative to the fixed stars in the sky.
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.
Planets and stars have gravity.
The Solar System Makes the planets and the Stars.
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
No. Stars are like suns, around which planets may orbit.
Astronomers (and their ilk) study stars and planets.
Planets orbit the sun. Stars do not.
