Stars are not planets. They are suns .

Aqui está o colapso:

* estrelas are massive balls of hot gas that generate their own light and heat through nuclear fusion. They are the primary source of energy for their planetary systems.
* planetas are celestial bodies that orbit stars. They don't generate their own light and heat, and they are much smaller than stars.
* Suns are stars that are the center of a planetary system, like our Sun.

So, while stars are often called "suns" colloquially, they are actually the same thing.
