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.


How are Copernicus theory and Ptolemy theory have in common'?

Well copernicus s theory was the heliocentric theory which is that the sun is center and the planets and stars revolve around it ptomely s idea was the geocentric theory which is that the earth is center and other planets and stars revolve around the earth

Are stars distant planets?

Stars are not planets. They are like our sun and may or may not have planets orbiting around them. Stars are hot and the heat makes them look like bright lights in the sky on a clear night. Planets do not create very much, if any, visible light and are much harder to see because they only reflect the light from stars.

Do the planets revolve around the direct center of the sun?

The center of the orbit is between them in proportion to their masses. But the mass of the sun is so much larger compared to the mass of the planets that to a casual observer they do revolve around the center of the sun. Because planets don't orbit the exact center of stars, astronomers can see stars that "wobble" and can tell they have planets orbiting them. They will also get an idea of the period of those planets' revolutions around the star.
