The most well-known astronomical objects are stars, which are the most basic building pieces of galaxies. |
In comparison, the planet is a massive natural body that revolves around the Sun or a star and does not emit energy from nuclear fusion events. |
|
Thermonuclear fusion, which occurs at the centre of stars, produces their own light. |
Planets don't have their own light, thus they reflect the Sun's. |
|
Because of the great distance between the stars, their positions vary, and this can be seen after a long period. |
Planets have a tendency to shift positions as they orbit the Sun. |
Greater in size
Smaller in size

They are not twinkling.
Hydrogen, helium, and other light elements make up this substance.
Solids, liquids, or gases, or a combination of these three.
Stars travel in their own orbits, each with a substantial distance between them, and their motion can be observed after a long period.
Planets follow a specific course around the Sun as they orbit the Sun.

In the solar system, there is only one star, but there are trillions of stars in the galaxy.
