Planets are like balls that circle around stars, while stars are like big, glowing fireballs. Planets don’t light up on their own, they just reflect the light from stars. Stars, on the other hand, shine because of nuclear reactions happening inside them. Think of a planet as Earth and a star as our Sun.
Examples
- A planet is like Earth, which orbits the Sun (a star).
- Stars are like big fireballs that light up the sky.
- Planets don’t glow on their own, they reflect the light of stars.
