What do astronomers think about the possibility of planets orbiting other stars and being detected?
Hundreds of extra-Solar planets have been detected already.
Do any of the stars you can see have planets around them?
Yes. To date scientists have discovered well over a thousand planets orbiting other stars. It is believe that a large portion of the stars in the night sky have planets.
Is our sun the only star that has planets orbiting around it?
No. Other stars have been found to have planets orbiting them.
What stars travel around mars?
none Stars do not 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".
Which method has not yet detected planets around other stars?
Detection of reflected light by the planet
What other star has planets orbiting around them?
We believe that most stars have planets. The first star PROVABLY detected to have a planet was Gamma Cephei.
What do astronomers think about the possibility of planets orbiting other stars and being detected?
Hundreds of extra-Solar planets have been detected already.
What planets are out there that's are not in your solar system?
These are planets that are in orbit around other stars, known as exosolar planets.
What do all the planets orbit around?
All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.
Is there a solar system that has 8 planets besides ours?
Other stars, other than our own, have had multiple planets detected in an orbit around them. Its highly likely that there are other systems with eight planets. Planets the size of mercury or even slightly bigger planets the size of the Earth are extremely difficult to detect, so a star with four or five large known planets may actually have a lot more planets.
Are there planets further than our solar system?
Yes. They are called "exoplanets" and they orbit other stars. They have only been detected recently.
Do planets form around stars?
Yes, planets form around stars. In order to be a planet, one of the requirements is that you have to orbit around a sun. Also, as far as physicists can tell, planets form in the dust of other stars that have already died and left their matter.
What are star planets called?
That doesn't make sense. There are stars, and there are planets. If you mean "planets around stars, other than the Sun", those are usually called "extrasolar planets" or "exoplanets".
Do any of the stars you can see have planets around them?
Yes. To date scientists have discovered well over a thousand planets orbiting other stars. It is believe that a large portion of the stars in the night sky have planets.
Is our sun the only star that has planets orbiting around it?
No. Other stars have been found to have planets orbiting them.
Is stars planets?
No. Stars are like suns, around which planets may orbit.
