Do different stars have planets? We can see the planets round our own sun. but we havent been anymore. The stars are too far away from us. Stars give out light, but the planets dont have any light of their own. So we cant see them. They are too far, and too dark. Still, we can tell that some stars have planets. While a big planet goes round, it pulls its star to one side. And sometimes we can see this. Then we know that the star has a planet. For example, Barnards Star is a small red star.
