Are stars moons?
No. Stars are their own class of of objects. In simple terms planets orbit stars and moons orbit planets.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit 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".
How is a moon different from a planet?
Planets orbit stars, moons orbit planets. That is the only difference.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
What makes a planet be classified as a dwarf planet instead of a moon?
Moons orbit planets. Planets (and dwarf planets) orbit stars.
How are moons and planets alike?
Most but not all larger MOONS (bodies that orbit planets, moons, or asteroids) accreted in the same way that PLANETS did, assuming a variable density and a nearly spherical shape. Very large moons such as Titan have many of the characteristics of planets: vulcanism, atmospheres, and weather. Generally speaking, moons orbit planets in the same way that planets orbit stars.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
What is the difference between moon rocks and meteorites?
Moons always orbit planets unlike meteorites which orbit stars.
Does the moon revolve round the planets?
Moons orbit planets Or rather moons and planets orbit their barycenter.
What is a system in which moons orbit a star?
Moons don't orbit stars; they orbit planets. If it's a moon, then it orbits a planet. If it orbits a star, then it isn't a moon, it's a planet.
What two other common names of the bodies?
The two other common names for celestial bodies are planets and moons. Planets are large objects that orbit around stars, while moons are natural satellites that orbit around planets.
Does Venus have stars?
No. Venus has no stars. Planets do not "have" stars, at least not in the way that they have moons or rings. It does orbit a star, however. This star is the Sun.
