Planets and Stars Differences and Similarities Where you will learn more than you ever imagined. The stuff you’ll learn will blow you away , IT’S ABSOULETELY OUT OF THIS GALAXY! Planets the Solar System’s Best Friend In our Solar System there are 8 planets Mercury. Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. Theses planets in some ways are very similar to the stars but in other way they might be more different then you might think. In our solar system we have planets that are big but not as big as the stars. Our planets orbit one big star in fact it’s the only star in our solar system. . . THE SUN! Each of our planets are made out of different materials for example earth is made out of dirt, rock some gas, and water, but Jupiter is a gas planet so that means it is made all out of gas. So each of our planets look different because of the different atmosphere’s and some of them have no atmosphere at all. From Earth the stars are way farther away than any of the other planets. Here is a Picture of the Planets in Our Solar System Stars The Light of the Night In our Solar System there are billions of stars, these stars are way hotter than any of the planets even Mercury which is the closest to the sun. Even more impressive is that even the average stars are bigger than Jupiter and Jupiter is the biggest planet in the Solar System. Each of the different stars have different colors most of them to you appear white or yellow. But to tell you the truth some of the stars are blue, green, yellow, orange, and even red. What’s cool is blue is the hottest color and rd is actually the coldest. From earth if you tried to look at a star they are almost too small to see but if you look at the other planers they will appear bigger and shine brighter than the stars. Here is a picture of the stars with the different colors Stars and Planets Could They Be Similar? • Both the planets and stars are huge! There sizes are quite different when you compare their sizes but they are both amazingly big. Stars and Planets can both be made of gasses, actually that is what makes a star grow its gas. Also if you were to look up into the night sky you can see little balls of light these could be 2 things they could actually be planets or stars. So you can see both in the night sky. You probably knew that earth along with other planets have cores but did you know stars have them too. Well that is a similarity most people wouldn’t know right off the top of their head. The last similarity which I think is the most interesting is they both orbit something. Believe it or not both planets and stars orbit something in their solar system. This is the Planet Uranus Do you See Similarities These are some Stars
