  • Planets and Stars: Understanding Planetary Orbits
    This is a bit of a trick question! Here's why:

    * Planets orbit stars: Planets don't *have* stars. They orbit around stars.

    * Our solar system: Our planet, Earth, orbits the Sun, which is our star.

    * Other star systems: Every planet in the universe orbits a star.

    So, to answer your question directly: Every planet has a star that it orbits.
