Is a star bigger than a planet?
in most cases, a star is bigger than a planet. yet, both stars and planets have different sizes, such as a white dwarf star is smaller than Jupiter.
What is a difference between a satellite and a planet?
A planet revolves around a star, and is bigger in mass than the planetoid Pluto; that is, nearly the mass of Mercury or larger. A satellite revolves around a planet, and is smaller than the planet.
Which planet is called the north star?
The north star is a star, not a planet. It is called Polaris. The planet Venus is called the Evening Star
Can a star be a planet?
No - a star is a star and a planet is a planet. See related questions.
Is a white dwarf bigger than a main sequence?
No. A white dwarf is the collapsed remnant of the core of a low to medium mass star. It has a mass comparable to that of a star, but is about the size of a small planet.
Which on is bigger star or planet?
Star
What is the difference in a star than a planet?
a star is way bigger than a planet. you need a telescope to see some of the planets.a star twinkles.a planet glows.
If the mass of the star were doubledwhat effect would this have on the gravitional attraction between the star and planet?
It would make the gravity of the star have more power.As for your question, it all depends.If the planet was bigger than the star, the star would be pulled in gravatationally(if that's even a word).If the star were bigger than the planet, the planet would be pulled in.
How does a star compare to a planet in temperature and size?
A shining star is much bigger than a planet. A star produces light and heat and other types of radiation of it's own. A planet does not.

Which planet was recently downgraded and re-classified as a star?
Pluto was redesignated as a dwarf planet. All the stars we can see are much bigger than the planets and many of them are bigger than the Sun.
Is a neutron star bigger than a planet?
A neutron star is about the size of a small city. About 12km across but with the mass of about 2 Suns.
Is a supernova bigger than earth?
Much bigger. Earth is a relatively small planet, much smaller than even a dwarf star. A supernova is a very large star exploding.
Which is bigger Orion or northern hemisphere?
Orion is a star. It is much bigger than the entire planet Earth, much less the northern hemisphere.
What is the order of gravitational forces of the planets in your solar system?
The bigger the planet/star the larger the gravational force.
