Actually, that's not true. There isn't exactly a clear-cut line between planets and stars. As a body becomes more massive, it becomes capable of fusion in its core, which then makes it a star. There is a large spectrum between planet-sized bodies and star-sized bodies, and astronomers aren't in total agreement on when a planet is big enough to be considered a star.

My theory on size ok think about it, to us, the smallest thing is an atom, but why is it the smallest thing? because its the smallest we can see, before we had microscopes the smallest things were like grains of sand, but our technology allows us to see smaller things, so what i think is that theres no end to size, there isnt, theres no smallest thing, only the smallest thing we can see, theres no biggest thing, its all an endless cycle :rasta: Rating: 5
