Stars are not planets. They are like our sun and may or may not have planets orbiting around them. Stars are hot and the heat makes them look like bright lights in the sky on a clear night. Planets do not create very much, if any, visible light and are much harder to see because they only reflect the light from stars.
What else can I help you with?
What are the distant planets?
They're all distant. The gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn) are more distant than the inner planets (Mars, Venus). Exoplanets (planets around other stars are even (far) more distant.
The reason that most extrasolar planets are found close to their parent stars?
Most extrasolar planets are found close to their parent stars because current planet detection methods are biased towards detecting larger planets that are closer to their stars due to the limitations of technology. These close-in planets are easier to detect because they have a greater impact on their star's light or motion. As technology and detection methods improve, we are discovering more distant planets from their stars.
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Why do the positions of the planets change in relation to the background of stars?
The positions of the planets change in relation to the background stars due to their orbits around the Sun. As the planets move along their orbit at different speeds, their position relative to the background stars appears to change from our perspective on Earth. This phenomenon is known as planetary motion and is a result of the planets' orbital dynamics.
What planets around distant stars are called?
Planets around distant stars are called exoplanets. These planets orbit stars outside of our solar system and are detected through various methods, such as the transit method or radial velocity method.
Are the stars in the sky different planets and moons we have not discovered yet?
No. We know what the stars are. They are not planets. They are distant suns, many of which do have undiscovered planets.
What are the distant planets?
They're all distant. The gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn) are more distant than the inner planets (Mars, Venus). Exoplanets (planets around other stars are even (far) more distant.
Are the stars planets or are they the same as the sun?
The night time stars are suns, so distant they appear as points of light. Note that the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can be seen without a telescope and can be mistaken for stars.
When should you use light years?
Light years are used to measure distance from Earth to distant stars and planets.
Is there life on other planets except on earth?
We do not know. So far, organic molecules have been located on planets and in distant stars, but this is not proof that organic life exists there.
When was Distant Stars created?
Distant Stars was created in 1981.
How many pages does Distant Stars have?
Distant Stars has 352 pages.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.

Who was find the new two planets?
The new planets were discovered by astronomers using telescopes to search for distant objects in the night sky. Observations were made to confirm the presence of these planets by analyzing their gravitational effect on nearby stars.
