Sometimes. The Solar System with all the planets is a tiny thing compared to the distance to even the nearest star. When you see a planet near a star in the sky, it's in line with that star and therefore it's closer to the star than we are, but the difference in distance is extremely slight. At other places in its orbit the same planet could be further away than we are.
What else can I help you with?
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
What is hotter planets or stars?
Stars are hotter than planets. Stars are massive balls of gas that produce heat and light through nuclear reactions in their cores, while planets do not produce their own heat and rely on the heat they receive from the star they orbit.
How do dying stars form planets?
They don't - new born stars and planets are formed together.
Are Earth and Mars Stars or Planets?
Earth and Mars are planets, not stars. Stars are massive celestial bodies that generate light and heat through nuclear reactions in their cores, while planets are smaller bodies that orbit stars. Earth and Mars are both planets in our solar system that orbit the Sun.
Why is venus brighter than the stars?
Because it is nearer that the stars.
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.
How many planets are nearer to the sun than the earth is?
There are 2 planets closer to the Sun from the Earth
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.
Why does the moon look brighter than the stars?
moon is too nearer to earth than stars
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".
Why do planets shine brighter then stars?
Not all of them do. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn appear brighter than most stars when they're in the right positions, simply because they're so much nearer to us than stars are. However, even though Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are also much nearer to us than stars are, they're not bright enough to be seen without optical aid, and none of those was known until a couple of hundred years ago.
Is stars planets?
No. Stars are like suns, around which planets may orbit.
Who studies stars and planets?
Astronomers (and their ilk) study stars and planets.
Can planets and stars orbit around the sun?
Planets orbit the sun. Stars do not.
