Solution

All the objects that we see in the sky are called celestial bodies or heavenly bodies. ​These celestial bodies include stars, planets, satellites, asteroids, meteorids and comets. The celestial bodies that do not have their own light and heat are called planets. ​On the other hand, stars are the celestial bodies that are made up of gases and have their own heat and light, which they emit in large amounts.
