Similarities: Stars and planets can appear the same - like pinpoints of light in the night sky.
Differences: Planets are rock or gas, and do not glow by themselves but reflect the light of stars which illuminate them. Stars fuse hydrogen into helium and give off enormous amounts of energy, some in the visible range. Stars are MUCH bigger than planets.
What else can I help you with?
What planets has the most stars around it?
Because the stars are relatively so far away, all planets of this solar system have the same number of stars near them.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Are planets older than stars?
No. Planets are formed after stars are and in most cases planets are consumed by the same star. Some stars can exist long after they have exhausted their supply of hydrogen and heavier element as red giants. Some even may last over 100 of trillions of years.
How do you compare the similarities and differences of planets to the stars in appearancepositionand number in the night sky?
In the night sky, planets and stars can appear similar as both are visible celestial bodies, but they differ significantly in characteristics. Planets usually shine with a steady light and do not twinkle, while stars can exhibit twinkling due to atmospheric disturbances. In terms of position, planets move against the backdrop of stars over time, following specific orbits, whereas stars remain fixed in their constellations. Additionally, there are far fewer planets visible to the naked eye compared to the vast number of stars, which number in the billions in our galaxy alone.
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 planets has the most stars around it?
Because the stars are relatively so far away, all planets of this solar system have the same number of stars near them.
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.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Stars are approximately the same age as their orbiting planets?
Yes. for a given system, the age of the planets and the central star would be about the same, as the planetary disc would have formed in one go. Most of the mass would go into the central star, with the remaining material in orbit slowly developing into the planets we have today.
What is one way Mercury And Venus differ from the other planets in the solar system?
One way Mercury and Venus are the same in which they differ from other planets is that they are both very hot and dry in the daytime
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.
Are stars shaped like spheres?
Yes, stars are shaped like spheres (same with planets and moons).
Are planets older than stars?
No. Planets are formed after stars are and in most cases planets are consumed by the same star. Some stars can exist long after they have exhausted their supply of hydrogen and heavier element as red giants. Some even may last over 100 of trillions of years.
Which pulling force do planets and stars have?
Planets and stars have gravity.
Are the stars planets or are they the same as the sun?
The night time stars are suns, so distant they appear as points of light. Note that the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can be seen without a telescope and can be mistaken for stars.

Do stars and planets have the same light?
Yes, in the sense that both of their 'lights' come from a star.
