The larger more formed star would absorb the smaller star, I'm pretty sure having two stars that close is impossible.

Which are the pair of stars that travel together and rotate around each other as the moon does the earth?

There are a great number of "binary" stars, but you generally need a good telescope to see that there is more than one star. One naked-eye set is the second star from the end of the Big Dipper's handle; it has a dim companion that can be seen only on clear, dark nights. Telescopes show this system has six stars, but four are much too dim for eyes or even binoculars. Also, stars do not 'rotate' around each other; they 'revolve' around each other. Rotating is spinning in place, and revolving is circling around repeatedly.


What term is given to a pair of stars that can determine are orbiting each other only by measuring their periodic Doppler shifts?

A pair of stars orbiting around each other are called binary stars.

What is a triple star?

A triple star system is a system of three stars that are gravitationally bound to each other and orbit around a common center of mass. Triple stars can either be hierarchical, where two stars are closer to each other and the third is more distant, or trinary, where all three stars are relatively close to each other. Triple stars are relatively rare compared to binary stars.


How can stars remain in the same position in the sky?

Stars all appear to revolve around the sky each day as the Earth revolves, but relative to each other the stars stay 'fixed'. That is because they are so distant it takes years for any of them to move appreciably.

How does the earth take to rotate around the the sun?

Forever. The Earth rotates around the Sun(once each year), not the other way around.


Interactions with the sun moon and earth?

They rotate around each other, and work together to create tides.


Why do the constellations appear to rotate around Polaris?

The constellations appear to rotate around Polaris due to the Earth's axial rotation. As the Earth spins on its axis from west to east, the stars in the night sky seem to move in circular paths around Polaris, which is located nearly at the North Celestial Pole. This motion is a result of our perspective from the Earth's surface, creating the illusion of a rotating sky while the stars themselves are actually stationary relative to each other.


How long does it take Earth rotate around the sun?

Forever. The Earth rotates around the Sun(once each year), not the other way around.
