It is possible but unlikely because the competing gravitational forces from two or more stars are very likely to make it impossible for any planet to settle into a stable orbit.

Will it be possible for a planet orbitng rigel to have life?

It is unlikely that a planet orbiting Rigel, a massive and bright star, could support life as we know it. Rigel's high energy output and short lifespan would likely make it challenging for a planet orbiting it to have stable conditions for life to thrive.


Can a binary star system have planets?

Yes, they can have planets but they will not be as common as a single star system. If any planets are formed, they will generally be far away from the stars. This is because of the gravitational influences of two stars. This instability prohibits the formation of planets. Obviously, it depends on the mass of the two stars and their distance from each other. A close pair will probably not have planets whereas a major star and a far minor binary pair will not experience the same influences and planet formation could occur without the same constraint's. Our nearest binary/triple star system - Alpha Centauri has yet to have any planets detected.


The sun does NOT belong what kind of star system?

I'm not 100% sure what you mean by this but usually star systems are classed as single (Just one star), binary (meaning two stars orbiting each other), triple (three stars orbiting each other), etc... As our Sun is the only star in this system it is a single star system and therefore none of the others.


Are there any planets located near the star algol?

There are no known planets located near the star Algol, which is a binary star system consisting of two stars. The distance between the two stars is relatively close, making it difficult for planets to stably orbit either of the stars.


What system is the sun center of the solar system?

The sun's mass is so much bigger than anything in our solar system that it actually pulls all of the other masses in the Milky Way to it, the planets with the bigger masses are out farther, and the smaller ones are closer, except for pluto. (because pluto's orbit is messed up due to previous momentum)

What do astronomers call a system that is composed of more than two stars?

A system composed of more than two stars is called a multiple star system. This can include triple star systems (trinaries), quadruple star systems (quadrinaries), or even more complex configurations with numerous stars orbiting each other.


Were the triple entente in the alliance system?

Yes they were. (:


Which star is actually composed of 3 stars forming a triple star system?

Polaris (the North star - Alpha Ursae Minoris) is a triple star system, but appears to us as a single star. Alpha Centauri is also another triple star system. And there are many more.


Is rigel a triple star binary star or single star?

Rigel is a triple star system.
