What are the similarities between asteroids and comets?
They may both vary in sizes but are smaller than a planet. There are a lot of them. They hit large objects like planets, moons or stars often.
Why do irregular galaxies have no shape?
An irregular galaxy is a galaxy that doesn't have a specific shape like a pinwheel or an elliptical galaxy.
Are there more than one billion stars in our solar system?
NO! A solar system is a star or star pair with things like planets, moons, asteroids, meteors, and dwarf planets orbiting around that star or star pair. In OUR solar system we have only one star, "The Sun".
What is India's shape of land?
India has a triangle like shape.
What do all planets and stars begin as?
"For centuries, astronomers and philosophers wondered how our solar system and its planets came to be. As telescopes advanced and space probes were sent out to explore, we learned more and more about our solar system, which gave us clues to how it might have taken shape. But were our ideas right? We could only see the end result of planet formation, not the process itself. And we had no other examples to study. Even with the knowledge gained about our solar system, we were left to wonder, are there other planetary systems out there, and did they form like ours? Discoveries made by the Hubble Space Telescope are helping us fill in key pieces to the puzzle of how planets form. A cloud collapses to form a star and disk. Planets form from this disk. According to our current understanding, a star and its planets form out of a collapsing cloud of dust and gas within a larger cloud called a nebula. As gravity pulls material in the collapsing cloud closer together, the center of the cloud gets more and more compressed and, in turn, gets hotter. This dense, hot core becomes the kernel of a new star. Meanwhile, inherent motions within the collapsing cloud cause it to churn. As the cloud gets exceedingly compressed, much of the cloud begins rotating in the same direction. The rotating cloud eventually flattens into a disk that gets thinner as it spins, kind of like a spinning clump of dough flattening into the shape of a pizza. These "circumstellar" or "protoplanetary" disks, as astronomers call them, are the birthplaces of planets."

Are all planets and stars shape like circle?
All planets and stars are approximately spherical in shape, a shape formed under their own gravity. Most are `oblate` spheroids though, squashed spheres, since their rotation can cause them to `bulge` out at the equator if it is sufficient enough.
Is stars planets?
No. Stars are like suns, around which planets may orbit.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
How are planets an stars different?
Plants are normal and stars are like comets
Do planets die like shooting stars?
No
What planets look like stars?
Pluto
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.
Why are planet not like stars?
Planets are much closer; stars are just like the sun but much farther away. Planets are rocky or gaseous (or ice) bodies, while stars, like our sun , are giant fusion reactors on steroids. Stars are very hot (millions of degrees) while planets are mainly cool or cold.
What are large spheres made mostly of gases?
Those may be stars, or giant planets (like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).Those may be stars, or giant planets (like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).Those may be stars, or giant planets (like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).Those may be stars, or giant planets (like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).
Do many stars have planets around them?
No they do not have planets around them,because stars are just a big ball of gas just like the sun.
What is privacy of contract?
why do the planets look like stars
Are stars shaped like spheres?
Yes, stars are shaped like spheres (same with planets and moons).
