What are some ways that stars and planets are similar?
Planets and stars are similar:FEW OF THE WAYS ARE :Both the stars and planets moveThey are celestial objectsThey are studied by astronomers
What are two ways that planets are different from stars?
1) Although planets can be composed primarily of rock or gas, only stars are objects made of gas that are massive enough to support a nuclear fusion reaction. 2) Although planets and stars can orbit stars (as in binary systems), stars never orbit planets.
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.
Everything in space is apart of a?
vast and interconnected system where celestial bodies and phenomena interact in complex ways, affecting each other's orbits, compositions, and evolution. This system includes stars, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, cosmic dust, dark matter, and more, all contributing to the dynamic and ever-changing fabric of the universe.
List three ways the outer planets are alike.?
The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are all gas giants composed mostly of hydrogen and helium. They all have ring systems, although those of Jupiter and Uranus are less prominent than those of Saturn. They all have numerous moons, with Jupiter and Saturn having the most extensive moon systems.

Name two ways astronomers can find planets around other stars?
microlensing
In what ways are planets different?
They do not have the exact same color, mass, diameter, number of moons, atmosphere composition, name, or gravity.
Are all moons alike?
No. Many moons of planets in the solar system are unique in many ways. Some are rocky and barren like our moon , but some are icy and some are covered with frozen methane.
What 3 ways do inner planets differ from outer planets?
Inner planets are smaller and made of rock and metal, while outer planets are larger and predominantly made of gas and ice. Inner planets have few or no moons, while outer planets have numerous moons. Inner planets have solid surfaces, while outer planets do not have solid surfaces, instead having thick atmospheres.
In what ways are science and technology interrelated?

What things are in the solar system and milky ways and planets?
Comets, solar flares, asteriod belt, stars
Are galaxies related to planets?
Galaxies are generally a collection of stars. But within any galaxy, there are lots of other objects, including planets. So galaxies are related to planets in some ways.
What was the first planet to orbit the moon?
The moon orbits our planet. Planets do not orbit moon. A moon is a moon because it orbits planets. The reverse of your question, 'What was the first moon to orbit a planet.', is hard to say. Moons are formed in different ways and because of this can be made of materials that existed long before they became moons.
Are there other stars that have planets apart from the sun?
Scientists used to wonder; are planets rare, or are they common? Arguments went both ways. But over the past 10 years or so, we have discovered over 300 planets orbiting other stars. With the rapid improvement in space-based telescopes and better image processing software, it begins to look like planets, and planetary systems, may be the norm; that single stars without planets may be the unusual case.
How are planets different?
There are many ways the planets are different. One way is that they all have different gravity levels, they are all different shapes and sizes. Lastly that they are different temperature, and different material.
