Planets are like guests in the sky, they shine because they reflect light from stars. Stars, on the other hand, are like party hosts, they make their own light by burning fuel deep inside them.
Imagine a campfire: you can sit around it and enjoy its glow (like how planets use starlight), or you can be the fire itself, lighting up the night sky (like stars).
Examples
- A star is like a big fireball that keeps burning by fusing its fuel inside, making it glow.
- Imagine your pet dog: it can't make its own light, but it shines when you turn on the lamp.
