Can a star orbit a planet
In: Planetary Science
In the way you are probably asking, no, it’s not possible. A star has to be a certain mass for the fusion to start, and that is more massive than any planet could be.
As others have pointed out, everything in a system orbits a central point caused by the mass of all objects. So it is possible that if a planet gets dragged into the center point of a binary star system (system with two stars), it would appear that the stars are orbiting the planet, but its still not actually happening.
