What else can I help you with?
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle 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".
What is a scientist who studies stars and planets?
An Astronomer is a scientist who studies the stars and planets.
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 need their stars?
Planets need their stars for heat and light, which are essential for supporting life and maintaining stable surface temperatures. Additionally, the gravitational pull of the star helps to keep planets in orbit around it.
What is a rogue planet?
That refers to "planets" which don't orbit stars - technically they would therefore not be planets, though they may share many other characteristics of planets.
How can you determine if a celestial object is a star or a planet?
One way to determine if a celestial object is a star or a planet is by looking at its characteristics. Stars are typically much larger and hotter than planets, and they emit their own light. Planets, on the other hand, do not produce their own light and instead reflect light from a star. Additionally, planets orbit around stars, while stars do not orbit other objects. By observing these characteristics, astronomers can differentiate between stars and planets.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Do planets and moons have stars?
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Which pulling force do planets and stars have?
Planets and stars have gravity.
What makes stars and planets?
The Solar System Makes the planets and the Stars.
How do you compare the similarities and differences of planets to the stars in appearancepositionand number in the night sky?
In the night sky, planets and stars can appear similar as both are visible celestial bodies, but they differ significantly in characteristics. Planets usually shine with a steady light and do not twinkle, while stars can exhibit twinkling due to atmospheric disturbances. In terms of position, planets move against the backdrop of stars over time, following specific orbits, whereas stars remain fixed in their constellations. Additionally, there are far fewer planets visible to the naked eye compared to the vast number of stars, which number in the billions in our galaxy alone.
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".
Who describes the study of the planets in their orbits?
The study of the planets in their orbits falls under the field of astronomy. Astronomers use telescopes and other scientific instruments to observe and analyze the movements and characteristics of planets in our solar system and beyond.
Is stars planets?
No. Stars are like suns, around which planets may orbit.
What type of stars form planets?
None Stars are gas Planets are solid
What is a scientist who studies stars and planets?
