A star is critical in the development of planets. It supplies the necessary gravitational force for large quantities of rock to collide and form planetary structures. However, there may be some planets that are no longer bound to their star (possibly due to an astronomical phenomenon that freed them from their orbit), but it would be nearly impossible to find and/or prove the existence of such a planet.
What else can I help you with?
What planets if any will appear to pass directly in front of the Sun from your earth based perspective which planets if any will never transit the sun?
Mercury and Venus are the only planets that can transit the Sun, from where I am.
Why is the sun bigger than the other planets?
the sun is bigger than any other planets because millions of years ago meteorites smashed together to make the sun and to any other planets that did not happen
Is Pluto closer to the sun?
Pluto is farther from the sun than any of the 8 major planets. There are other dwarf planets farther from the sun than Pluto though.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
When do superior planets appear brightest?
Superior planets (those outside Earth's orbit) appear brightest when they are at opposition, which is when they are on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun. This is when they are closest to Earth and fully illuminated by the Sun.

Does the sun have any natural satellites?
No, the sun does not have any natural satellites. Natural satellites typically orbit planets, and the sun is a star at the center of our solar system, so it does not have any objects orbiting around it in the same way planets do.
Where are the outer planets located in relationship to the sun?
They follow orbital paths which, like those of the inner planets, are centered on the sun, but the outer planets, without exception, are farther from the sun than any of the inner planets is.
How do planets shine even if they are not luminous bodies?
They don't. They reflect light from the sun.
Does the sun or any star have an axis as the planets do?
yes
Does the sun have any moons?
no its doesnt have any moons. because its to hot for it but they consider the planets to be the suns moons
Any other planets that orbit the Sun have Seasons like Earth?
yes there are seasons like earth on other planets. Except, they all dont have the same tempuratures or the same period one or more season lasts.
In what solar system do the planets travel around the sun?
In any solar system; that's what planets do.
Is Pluto closer to the sun?
Pluto is farther from the sun than any of the 8 major planets. There are other dwarf planets farther from the sun than Pluto though.
Does sun revolve around any planet?
no, all the planets revolve AROUND the sun.
What makes your solar system?
the planets, ateroids, smaller bodies, that dont qualify as planets. thats sad. and our sun. that is what makes up our solar system.
