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:

At night, when you look up high in the sky, you will notice trillions of shining dots, out of which some appear brighter, some are bigger while some of them twinkle. It is a point to ponder, what are these bright dots? So they are nothing but stars and planets. Stars are heavenly bodies that possess their own light and twinkle. They are fixed and large luminous body like the Sun.
