Question

differentiate between star and planet​

Answer 1

Answer✔

Stars are the astronomical objects, that emit their own light, produced due to thermonuclear fusion, occurring at its core.

Planets refers to the celestial object that has a fixed path (orbit), in which it moves around the star. They have their own light. They do not have their own light.

Answer 2

Answer:

The main difference between stars and planets is that stars have high temperatures compared to planets. Stars undergo nuclear reactions—usually they burn hydrogen in their cores, releasing massive amounts of energy. In order to be hot enough for these reactions to take place, stars need to be extremely big. They must have a mass of at least 75 times that of Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System. Because they radiate energy, stars are very bright objects. Planets do not generate their own energy through nuclear reactions. They reflect some of the radiation coming from their parent star.
