What planets has the most stars around it?
Because the stars are relatively so far away, all planets of this solar system have the same number of stars near them.
Does every planet revolve around earth?
No, none of them do. Planets revolve around stars, so all of the planets in our solar system orbit the Sun, our own star.
Which galaxy are the planets on?
Planets orbit stars, stars orbit a galaxy. Planets are not "on" anything. A lot of stars out there have planets - we are just finding out how many now that we have better techniques to find them. So probably all galaxies have at least some stars with planets.
What planets are death stars?
A planets and stars are different things, so a planet can never be a death star.
Is there a solar system that has 8 planets besides ours?
Other stars, other than our own, have had multiple planets detected in an orbit around them. Its highly likely that there are other systems with eight planets. Planets the size of mercury or even slightly bigger planets the size of the Earth are extremely difficult to detect, so a star with four or five large known planets may actually have a lot more planets.
Why have most new planets discovered around stars been so large?
Because the larger planets are easier to see, the smaller ones may be there, but not large enough for our modern equipment to accurately detect.

How are planets different from stars?
Mainly in that they have a smaller mass. To be a "star", an object would need to be able to start hydrogen fusion. This requires a certain amount of mass and pressure at the core - which in turn require a certain minimum mass.
Does every planet revolve around earth?
No, none of them do. Planets revolve around stars, so all of the planets in our solar system orbit the Sun, our own star.
Are new planets forming?
New planets are not forming in our solar system. When you get beyond Neptune, there is large grouping of stellar debris called the Kuiper Belt. The Kuiper Belt has enough material to become another planet, but it orbits around the sun too slowly for the material to combine. The planets formed by having asteroid-like rocks collide with one another, and the objects in the Kuiper Belt are spread out too far and don't have enough moment to form anything. There may be new planets forming around different stars. So far there have been around 800 stars found to have planets orbiting them, but there is no indication when those planets were formed. There may be new planets forming around different stars.

A planets and stars are different things, so a planet can never be a death star.
What planet do most known extrasolar planets least resemble?
We tend to see the large planets farthest away from their stars. So it is unlikely we will find any small planets close to their star similar to Mercury.
How can you identify stars and planets?
Stars 'twinkle', planets do not. This is due to the proximity of planets, the light from which does not pass through so much dust and vary accordingly.
How are stars and planets different?
First of all, planets are way smaller than stars, stars are probably 10-1000's of times bigger than plants. Another thing is stars produce nuclear energy in their core so they burn and give of heat, which by far planets don't give off. The third thing is Stars have more gravity than planets so they make smaller bodies orbit around them. Planets are dark balls of rock and gas that orbit a star and stars are giant balls of hot gases that makes its own light and heat

Why do you see stars twinkling but planets do not?
the stars emitt its own light. But the planets do not have any own light. It absorbs the light from the stars like a sun. It just reflects the light. And also the stars are far away from the earth than the planets. So we can found the twinkling of stars but not the planets.
