Does every star have its own solar system?

Answer 1

Back in the 1990's, we began to be able to "see" planets about other stars. The nearest stars are so far away that the first evidence that a planet (or planets) orbited them were small observable "shifts" or a "wobble" in the movement of the star (called perturbations). We have now actually been able to see a planet silhouetted against a star! Well over 200 exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) have been catalogued so far, and more are on the way. But does every star have its own solar system? Probably not all of them. But planetary evolutionists believe that because of the way a "solar system" collects mass and "forms itself" to give itself shape under the hand of gravity, there are going to be many stars that do have their own solar systems (planetary bodies) orbiting about them. We'll still have to wait a bit for more data to get some idea of "what the odds are" for a given star having planets about it, but we're working on it! We live in exciting times, do we not?!

Answer 2

Not every star in this universe has planets. As some reasons is that binary stars can't have planets orbiting around it. It's can be possible that some binary stars can have planets if those planets are very far away from it.

Answer 3

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star

Stars for example OUR SUN create light through massive energetic processes. In short they create their own light. Your question is actually quite vague your best bet is to read the reference above on Stars.

Answer 4

No. There's only one star in our solar system. It's the one we call the 'sun'. The next

nearest star to us is about 278,000 times farther away from us than the sun is. None

of the other stars knows or cares that our solar system exists.

Answer 5

Not necessarily. While many stars do have solar systems, such as our Sun, not all stars have planets orbiting around them. Some stars exist in isolation without any planetary companions.

Answer 6

No, a galaxy is a group of densely-packed stars.

Answer 7

There's only one star that's a part of our solar system . . . the one we call "the sun".

None of the other stars is anywhere near our solar system.

Answer 8

sun is the name of a star. that doesn't mean that every star is a sun

Answer 9

Yes. Indeed, many stars are part of a multiple star system. But we aren't sure yet if multi-star systems have any stable planets, or if they might be habitable.

Answer 10

We can be absolutely certain that at least some solar systems don't have black holes,

because our own doesn't have one.
