Hi Nila,
Star | Planet |
A star has its own light. | A planet has no light of its own. It shines by reflecting the light of the Sun. |
Stars twinkle at night. | Planets do not twinkle. |
There are billions of stars in the celestial sphere. | There are only nine planets in the Solar System. |
Since the stars are very far away, the telescope can only make them look brighter but not larger. | Most planets on the other hand are near enough to the Earth to be magnified by the telescope. |
The relative positions of the stars do not undergo any noticeable change. | Since planets are very mush closer to the Earth than the stars are, their motion around the Sun is noticeable as a daily shifting of their relative positions in the sky. |
