Yes it is, and this is because a planet is built up out of the dust that surrounds a star. When a star is formed there is still a disk of gas surrounding it. As this gas cools, it condenses and forms solid grains. These grain particles accrete into large bodies called planetesimals, which then collide and accrete to make protoplanets. These protoplanets evolve into planets like the planets in our own solar system.

When planets orbit a star?

When don't they? If a planet is in orbit around a star, it is in continual orbit. Orbital periods (the lengths of time it takes different planets to complete one orbit) are different from planet to planet, and are related to the distances between the planets and their stars.

No, a star and a planet are two distinct celestial bodies. Stars are massive spheres of gas that produce light and heat through nuclear fusion, while planets are smaller bodies that orbit around stars. Stars generate their own energy, while planets reflect the light of their parent star.
