A star is a luminous ball of plasma held together by its own gravity and produce energy through thermonuclear fusion. A planet is a body orbiting a star massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity but not massive enough to conduct fusion.
The sun is a star that undergoes nuclear fusion to produce energy, while a gas planet is a large planet primarily made up of gases like hydrogen and helium. The sun emits light and heat due to nuclear reactions in its core, while gas planets do not produce their own light and heat but reflect light from their star.
The object called at various times, the Morning Star and the Evening Star is the planet Venus.
It depends on how far away the planet is from a star. If it's close, it's hot. Also, if the planet rotates on its axis there would be a big day-night temperature difference.
A planet orbits around a star, such as the Sun in our solar system. The gravitational pull of the star keeps the planet in its orbit as it travels through space.
Continents are the landforms on a planet. A planet (in OUR solar system) revolves aound the Sun.
Our Earth is an example of a planet, whilst our Sun is an example of a star.
a star is way bigger than a planet. you need a telescope to see some of the planets.a star twinkles.a planet glows.
The planet reflects solar light and a star has its own light.
Mars is a planet, and is solid Sun is a star, and is gas
Basically, Earth is a planet, the Sun is a star, and a comet is an icy small body of ice.
A planet is a ruffly spherical object that orbits a star. The difference between a planet and a dwarf planet is a planet clears its orbit of debris by itself- a dwarf planet has help! Hope this helps!xxx :-)
No planet is a star.
Earth is a Planet. Moon is a satalite. Sun is a meduim sized star.
A star and a planet, both have cores.
A star is a completely different thing from a planet. In other words no star is a planet.
A star generates energy, including light, which it emits into space, i.e. it is luminous. A planet can only be seen because it reflects the Sun's light, i.e. it is non-luminous.
a star is a hot flaming ball of gas and dust and emits heat and light while a planet is compsed of metal and rock and doesnt emit light. a plant is also alot smaller than star. think of the sun compared to earth
