Actually, to quite an extent, they do. Whenever enough material in interstellar space accretes together until it has an appreciable mass, and thus attracts even more material to itself, you have the beginning of either a planet or a star. A planet if it is largely solids, or an amount of gas insufficient to make it a star, or a star if it is mostly hydrogen, and has enough of it to cause nuclear fusion at the center.
What else can I help you with?
Which galaxy are the planets on?
Planets orbit stars, stars orbit a galaxy. Planets are not "on" anything. A lot of stars out there have planets - we are just finding out how many now that we have better techniques to find them. So probably all galaxies have at least some stars with planets.
Are there stars between the earth and mars?
Yes, there are stars between Earth and Mars, as both planets are part of our solar system, which is located in the Milky Way galaxy. The distance between Earth and Mars varies, but in the vast expanse of space, there are countless stars in the background that exist between the two planets. However, these stars are not physically located in the same space as the planets; they are far beyond the solar system.
Why are planet not like stars?
Planets are much closer; stars are just like the sun but much farther away. Planets are rocky or gaseous (or ice) bodies, while stars, like our sun , are giant fusion reactors on steroids. Stars are very hot (millions of degrees) while planets are mainly cool or cold.
Do all stars form the same way?
Not all stars form in the same way, but they generally follow a similar process known as stellar formation. Most stars form from the gravitational collapse of gas and dust in molecular clouds, leading to the formation of a protostar. However, variations in mass, composition, and environmental conditions can influence the specific details of each star's formation. For instance, massive stars may evolve more rapidly and undergo different processes compared to smaller stars.
What is a very large group of stars and planets that includes sun and solar system?
That would be a galaxy. Our solar system is part of the Milky Way galaxy, which contains billions of stars, planets, and other celestial objects.
Are all stars and planets are about the same age?
All of the planets are in the same atmosphere. All of the planets are unique. All of the planets are considered planets. All of the planets have moons. All of the planets are named after a mythical person or thing.
In what way do planets look different from stars?
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.
The way planets and stars are different?
stars make their own light and planets get theirs from the sun!!!!!!!!!! hi!!!! :):>
Do you Think The way a planets moons form is similar to or different from the way the planets formed around the sun?
Obviously they formed in the same manner...Gravity is Gravity!
Which galaxy are the planets on?
Planets orbit stars, stars orbit a galaxy. Planets are not "on" anything. A lot of stars out there have planets - we are just finding out how many now that we have better techniques to find them. So probably all galaxies have at least some stars with planets.
What is the milki way made out of?
hundreds of stars and planets
How are moons and planets alike?
Most but not all larger MOONS (bodies that orbit planets, moons, or asteroids) accreted in the same way that PLANETS did, assuming a variable density and a nearly spherical shape. Very large moons such as Titan have many of the characteristics of planets: vulcanism, atmospheres, and weather. Generally speaking, moons orbit planets in the same way that planets orbit stars.
Why do planets appear larger then stars?
because they're way closer than the stars
Do the eight planets of our solar system create the Milky Way Galaxy?
No. The sun and the planets form the Solar System, which is just one infinitesimally small part of the Milky Way.
Dwarf planets in the milky way?
No one knows. Astronomers are scanning the visible stars of our own Milky Way galaxy for planets orbiting faraway stars, but such planets would have to be nearly the size of Jupiter to be detected at such distances
How many solar systems does the Milky Way?
milky way is a galaxy which consists of countless numbers of stars,asteriods,meteors,dust ,rocks ,etc ,.the solar system refers to our system which includes the sun and the nine planets. There are currently 278 stars in the milky way galaxy around which planets have been discovered.
With the Milky Way what is in the spiral galaxy?
stars, nebulas, and planets.
