What is a central star with planets around it?
A central star with planets around it is a planetary system or a star system. The central star, often a sun-like star, is orbited by planets that may vary in size, composition, and distance from the star. The arrangement of planets around the central star is known as a planetary or solar system.
Planets orbit a star?
Yes, planets orbit a star due to the gravitational pull of the star. This gravitational force keeps the planets in motion around the star in a regular pattern. The orbiting motion of planets around a star is essential for maintaining the stability and balance of a planetary system.
Large bodies of rock or gas that revolve around a star are called?
Large bodies of rock or gas that revolve around a star are planets.
What do scientists look for when they are trying to find planets around other stars?
The first discoveries of extra-solar planets were made by looking for a slight wobble in the motion of the star. In the last couple of years, scientists have been able to detect the change in the spectrum of a star as a planet passes in front of it, and be able to analyze the atmosphere of that planet.
Are there more Stars or Planets?
there are more planets than stars because to every star there could have several planets
How do astronomers observe planets that are too far away to see?
Space Telescopes Planets that are orbiting stars that are far away creating fluctuations in the light that we see coming from the star. Astronomers can observe those planets by measuring the fluctuations of that light.

What planets go round the stars?
All 8 planets in our solar system rotate around a star, our sun. Virtually all planets rotate around a star.
What is a ring-shaped shell of gas around a star called?
A ring-shaped shell of gas around a star is called a circumstellar disk. These disks are often made up of dust and gas and can be found around young stars where planets are still forming.
Do the star planets orbit around the sun?
I'm not sure what you mean by "Star planets." However, I can tell you that there are 8 known planets that orbit the star Sol, including Earth (Sol 3).
Large bodies of rock or gas that revolve around a star are called?
Large bodies of rock or gas that revolve around a star are planets.
What are large bodies of rock or gas that revolve around a star called?
Large bodies of rock or gas that revolve around a star are planets.
Do the planets revolve around the earth?
No all planets revolve around the nearest star. In our case, the sun.
How does the Kepler mission plan to detect Earthlike planets around other stars?
The Kepler mission used the transit method to detect Earthlike planets around other stars. It observed the slight dimming of a star's light when a planet passed in front of it, indicating the presence of an orbiting planet. By monitoring these periodic dips in brightness, Kepler could infer the presence of planets, including Earthlike ones, by analyzing the data over time.
Why do you suppose all the other sun like systems we know about have only 1 huge planet within 2 AU of its star?
We currently have the ability only to detect large planets that are close to their parent star, but as the technology progresses, we will be able to detect smaller planets, and planets that are further away. Also, astronomers have found systems of planets, meaning stars that have more than 1 planet.
Are there planets around black Star?
It is quite possible that a black hole could have planets orbiting it. Some pulsars (neutron stars) have confirmed planets, something that was thought impossible. The problem is however, we would be unlikely ever to be able to detect them. Most current methods such as the dopler method, gravitation micro-lensing and the transit method rely on the central star emitting electromagnetic radiation (light etc). Black Holes by definition do not shine. The only way i can conceive you could detect planets around a black hole is to detect and observe a black hole with an accretion disk and look for disturbances within the disk. I could not say if it is possible for such a planet to retain a stable orbit.
