Well, because they are so far away, they appear to be the same shape and colour as a star because they are so far away you cannot work out the details on the planet, in comparison to a star. Hope I've helped??
Planets appear to move through the background of stars because they orbit the Sun at different speeds. As the Earth and other planets move in their orbits, their positions relative to the background stars change, causing them to appear to move across the sky. This is known as planetary motion.
Planets appear brighter than stars because they reflect more sunlight and have larger apparent sizes in the night sky compared to distant stars. Stars emit light due to nuclear fusion in their cores, while planets reflect light from the Sun, making them appear brighter to us on Earth.
the planets orbit the Sun at varying speeds, causing them to appear to move against the fixed backdrop of stars as seen from Earth. This apparent motion is due to the Earth's own movement around the Sun, which creates the illusion of planets traversing the sky over time.
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Stars are intrinsically brighter than planets, typically. Planets (in general) shine by reflected starlight, whereas stars produce their own light. The exception are black dwarfs, which are burned out stars, and neutron stars which do not emit much light in the visible spectrum. Some planets glow a bit in the infrared from their own internal heat as well. As seen from earth Venus outshines any star, and Jupiter rivals Sirius, Arcturus, and Vega in brightness. These stars are all brighter than Mars and Saturn. The reason the planets appear brighter than some stars is because they are very close, while the stars are very, very far away.
planets appear to move
Planets appear to move through the background of stars because they orbit the Sun at different speeds. As the Earth and other planets move in their orbits, their positions relative to the background stars change, causing them to appear to move across the sky. This is known as planetary motion.
because they're way closer than the stars
Planets appear brighter than stars because they reflect more sunlight and have larger apparent sizes in the night sky compared to distant stars. Stars emit light due to nuclear fusion in their cores, while planets reflect light from the Sun, making them appear brighter to us on Earth.
Sunspots, as the name suggests, appear on the Sun or on stars - not on planets.
the planets orbit the Sun at varying speeds, causing them to appear to move against the fixed backdrop of stars as seen from Earth. This apparent motion is due to the Earth's own movement around the Sun, which creates the illusion of planets traversing the sky over time.
They appear to move on a great hollow sphere
The celestial objects that appear to move backwards among the stars are planets in our solar system. This phenomenon is called retrograde motion and is an apparent backward motion that occurs when Earth passes by these planets in their orbits.
Because the Earth and all the planets move in orbits round the Sun, while the stars appear to be fixed if we disregard the Earth's daily rotation.
The night time stars are suns, so distant they appear as points of light. Note that the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can be seen without a telescope and can be mistaken for stars.
Planets orbit stars.
The Sun and orbiting planets are MUCH closer to the Earth than other stars.
