stars are burning balls of gases and fire and appear to "blink" when we look at them...they actually arent blinking, they just seem to be because of the atmosphere. Planets on the other hand are generally solid masses (although this isn't true for all planets)
stars blink because of atmospheric disturbances.planets don't blink because they closer to earth and they reflect the suns bright light.
On the contrary! A star has planets, which circulate it. And planets have moons. Stars do not circle planets.
Well, isn't that just a lovely question! Planets don't actually blink, but they might seem to twinkle a bit from earth due to the way the light passes through our atmosphere. It's all part of the magic of the night sky, just like painting a beautiful starry scene!
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".
An Astronomer is a scientist who studies the stars and planets.
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.
We know it by observing that the stars blink in the sky while planets do not blink.
The Stars That Blink was created in 1978.
A blinking mass found in the sky could be a star, planet, satellite, or aircraft. Stars can appear to twinkle or blink due to atmospheric turbulence, while satellites and aircraft may blink due to reflecting sunlight as they move across the sky. Planets generally do not blink or twinkle like stars.

Planets and stars have gravity.
yes
The Solar System Makes the planets and the Stars.

No. Stars are like suns, around which planets may orbit.
Astronomers (and their ilk) study stars and planets.
