What planet has a star?

Answer 1

Jupiter was once thought to be a "failed star". However, we now realise that it's

nowhere near massive enough. It would need to have about ten times more mass

even to be a "brown dwarf". To be a true star, with nuclear fusion, it would need to have about 80 times more mass. Then it could become a "red dwarf" star.

Answer 2

There are no star-like planets in our solar system, however there are many extrasolar (that means they aren't orbiting our sun) objects that are on the verge of a definition of a sun and a planet, and they are called Brown Dwarfs, and are large gas objects that do not have enough mass to maintain nuclear fusion (which powers our sun and all stars).

Answer 3

No planet is a star. A star is a massive ball of hydrogen and helium creating energy by nuclear fusion. A planet is an object that revolves around a star. See related for more information

Answer 4

before they thought Venus was a star because it is very bright

Answer 5

No planet is considered a star! Any burning mass is a star, such as the sun or OGLE-TR-122b. A planet is a solid mass.

Answer 6

Every planet has a star. That is the definition of a planet, having a host star.

Answer 7

Jupiter, although it would only be a super tiny star since it's 9/1000th's the mass of our sun

Answer 8

Venous
