If you are an amateur then forget getting a telescope unless you are willing to get a very good one costing several hundreds of pounds or dollars. Cheap 'toy' telescopes are next to useless, as they claim to have great magnification, but the image is usually very poor and grainy and impossible to see properly because the optics and light gathering power are usually pretty poor. Also, the mounting of toy telescopes are usually flimsy and result in a great deal of shake. Often a good mount is as espensive as the telescope itself. A good pair of binoculars with a tripod to reduce shake should be perfectly adequate for seeing the craters on the moon, Jupiter and its moons, Venus, and large star clusters and nebulae like the Pleiades. The rings of Saturn may be too small for a small pair of binoculars, and so in this case a decent telescope is better.
What else can I help you with?
Do planets obit the sun?
Eight planets orbit our sun. More than a thousand planets far beyond our solar system are known to orbit other stars.
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.
Are all suns stars?
No, all stars aren't suns. A sun is a star that is at the center of a solar system. Planets rotate around the sun. Planets don't rotate around a normal star. A star can be found anywhere around the universe. That's not the case with planets. Planets have to be in a solar system and a sun has to be in the center. If this is the case with a star, then that star can be called a sun.
Do the planets can be seen by reflected light by the sun and other stars?
The planets reflect sunlight, but the stars are too far away to have any significant effect.
Are the sun and moon planets?
No, the sun and moon are not planets. The sun is a star that emits light and heat, while the moon is Earth's natural satellite. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit stars, like Earth does with the sun.
Can planets and stars orbit around the sun?
Planets orbit the sun. Stars do not.
Which stars have planets obiting them?
The sun.
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.
Who moves the planets sun or stars?
How far is the earth to the sun?
The way planets and stars are different?
stars make their own light and planets get theirs from the sun!!!!!!!!!! hi!!!! :):>
How do planets and stars send light to us?
Planets reflect light from the sun. Stars emit their own light.
Where are the planets found?
Orbiting stars. We know of eight planets orbiting our Sun, and we know of over 300 planets orbiting other stars.
Why can you see planets and stars on a night?
The reason you can see planets and stars at night is that their light is faint and the brightness of the sun obscures them during the day. At night, when the sun is not visible, the fainter light from the planets and stars can more readily be seen.
If the stars are like the sun then why don't the others planets stay warm?
The other planets in our are warmed by the sun, some more than others depending on their distance to the sun. The other stars are too far away to warm the planets.
Which scientist studies the sun moon and stars?
An astronomer studies the sun, moon, stars, planets, and other celestial bodies in outer space. They use telescopes and other instruments to observe and analyze these objects, as well as conduct research to understand their properties and behavior.
Do stars and planets both make their own light?
No. The stars make their own light, but the planets only relect light from the sun.
What are star planets called?
That doesn't make sense. There are stars, and there are planets. If you mean "planets around stars, other than the Sun", those are usually called "extrasolar planets" or "exoplanets".
