Planets but the look like stars
there are certain times when those planets... like venus..... are in an alignment with the sun and the sun's light... letting those planets REFLECT the same light the stars do...... the sun's light...... without the sun's light..... the stars too would be dark ^^
Stars are not planets. They are like our sun and may or may not have planets orbiting around them. Stars are hot and the heat makes them look like bright lights in the sky on a clear night. Planets do not create very much, if any, visible light and are much harder to see because they only reflect the light from stars.
Those are called "planets". The ancient Greeks distinguished "fixed stars" - which is what we nowadays simply call "stars"; and the moving stars, which in Greek is called "planets".A planet certainly looks like a star (a very bright star, in some cases), but nowadays they are not usually called "stars".
They are a lot closer than the stars. The nearest star, Alpha Proxima is 4 light years away. The planets are at most a few light hours away. Although they don't emit light, several of them have cloudy or sandy surfaces, making them highly reflective of sunlight. somtimes stars are brighter like the sun thats a star
Yes and no because when you look up in the sky some of those stars are planets but techinacally they aren't stars.

why do the planets look like stars
Planets but the look like stars
A astronomer would look at stars planets and the moon.
Firstly, planets are way way smaller than the stars! That's because you can see stars in the night but never planets. Also stars produce nuclear energy in their core so they give thermal ( heat ) energy. Also stars have more gravity than planets.

Scientists use technology to have another way to look at things.You use technology to look at planets,cells,etc.
If you look at it in a planetary perspective they are called moons. But if you look at it in a solar system perspective they are called planets, dwarf planets and asteroids. If you look at it at a galaxy size they are called Suns and Stars.
There are several bright stars. Planets move around the Ecliptic, covering 13 constellations or so. Note that planets look like stars, but are not currently considered stars. Also note that some of the planets look brighter (to us) than any real star. Other than planets, the brightest stars are the Sun (also changes through the constellations of the Ecliptic), Sirius (Canis Major), Canopus (Carina), and Toliman (Centaurus).
Planets move, may have a very very slight color tinge, and they twinkle more than stars. you gotta reeeally look close to see it with the naked eye.
so we can tell the weather and see the stars and moon and the 8 planets in space and it also helps us to see what the planets and stars look like to make films out of them to make it look realistic instead of usin a piece of scenery.
