What else can I help you with?
Are stars distant planets?
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 you see in the sky besides stars and the moon?
Planets but the look like stars
Do mars have any stars around then?
The planet Mars is gravitationally bound to the Sun. The Sun is the primary celestial body in our solar system. All the planets in the solar system (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) revolve around the Sun.
Why do planets move relative to the stars?
Gravitational pull. Have you heard of the "heliocentric theory"? This says that the sun is the center of our galaxy, the milky way. because of its mass, all the planets in this solar system orbit around it. our moon is in the earths pull and orbits it. the planets move with the earth. actually the stars do as well. ____________________ To clarify: You may hear people say things like "the fixed stars", or "against the back-drop of the fixed stars", or "the distant stars", or "the canopy of stars". These refer to the fact that the stars (not including planets and other objects) seem not to move relative to one another. This canopy of stars does appear to move relative to earth, because of our orbit and our axial rotation. But, for example, the stars of Orion always form the constellation of Orion, even though we may see it rise and set at different times, and it may not even be visible at night, depending on the time of year. On the other hand, the planets and many other objects are orbiting the sun, and they are not part of that huge display of very distant stars and galaxies. We can observe the orbital movement of the planets, and can easily see that their positions against the back-drop of stars change according to their positions in their orbits.
Do the planets revolve around the direct center of the sun?
The center of the orbit is between them in proportion to their masses. But the mass of the sun is so much larger compared to the mass of the planets that to a casual observer they do revolve around the center of the sun. Because planets don't orbit the exact center of stars, astronomers can see stars that "wobble" and can tell they have planets orbiting them. They will also get an idea of the period of those planets' revolutions around the star.
Are all-stars planets?
The best possible answer is we don't know.Just a decade or so ago, astrophysicists believed that no other stars have planets. The first exoplanet discovered was Gamma Cephei b, in 1988. While its existence was questioned for more than a decade, it was finally proven in 2003.There are currently 840 Planets around 655 Stars, 128 of these are in systems with multiple planets; there are 2,712 Kepler candidates, and 2,756,217 Transit Survey Light Curves that could prove to be exoplanets as well.
Is there any stars you can see next to uranus?
There are stars all around us, so of course you'll see stars next to any planet you choose.
Why can you see planets and stars on a night?
The reason you can see planets and stars at night is that their light is faint and the brightness of the sun obscures them during the day. At night, when the sun is not visible, the fainter light from the planets and stars can more readily be seen.
What can astronauts see in space?
Astronauts can see planets, stars, and species.

What electromagnetic spectrum can be used to see hidden planets?
The entire visible spectrum plus the infrared and ultraviolet. They are trying to obscure the stars light and see the faint reflections of any planets nearby.
Can you see stars during the day with a super powered telescope?
I don't believe so, but you can occasionally see the moon and other planets, called "morning stars". You can see the stars from outer space at any time, it's the atmosphere that gets in the way.
What planet is a star?
None of the planets are stars, only the stars. See related questions.

What are the planets in the galaxy M51?
We can't even see individual STARS in other galaxies, much less PLANETS. We have no idea how many stars are there.
What can you see from outer space?
stars, planets, galaxies, darkness
How you see planets?
You can see five of the planets in our Solar System with the naked eye - they appear as bright stars. To see Uranus and Neptune, you need telescopes.
