what are star ? what is different between planets and star
Answers
Definition of Stars
Stars can be understood as the glowing ball, consisting of plasma, clasped together by its gravity. Plasma is an intensely-heated state of matter. Stars are made up of gasses like hydrogen, helium and similar
difference between planets and star
The astronomical bodies that release their own light produced due to thermonuclear fusion, occurring at its core, is known as Stars. The celestial object that has a fixed path (orbit), in which it moves around the star, are known as Planets.
Stars have their own light, whereas planets do not have their own light, they reflect the sunlight that falls on the planets.
Stars move in their own separate orbits with a high speed, but due to considerable distance, their motion can be seen after a very long time. On the other hand, the position of planets tends to change, as they move around the sun.
The size of the stars is comparatively larger than the planets.
The shape of a star is like a dot. As against this, the shape of the planet is spherical.
The temperature of a star is very high, while that of a planet is low.
There is only one star in the solar system, and millions of stars in the galaxy, so they are uncountable. On the contrary, there are total eight planets in our solar system.
Stars appear to twinkle due to constant refraction of light in earth’s atmosphere. In contrast, planets are a bit closer to earth, and light reflected from them passes directly through the earth’s atmosphere without any bending, and so they do not twinkle.
Stars are made up of hydrogen, helium and other light elements. Conversely, planets are made up of states of matter such as solid, liquid, gasses or combination of these.
Explanation:
The first difference between the two bodies is obviously their definition. A star is a celestial body that produces its own light due to a reaction at its core. There are millions of stars.
Planet
On the other hand, a planet is a celestial body that has a fixed course, otherwise known as an orbit. The orbit is the pathway that allows the planet to move around a star. The biggest planet is Jupiter while the smallest is Mercury. There are eight planets in total with a few dwarf planets already discovered.
