Can a star orbit a planet
In: Planetary Science
The problem here is that in order to consider an object to be orbiting another object, the object being orbited must be much more massive than the orbiting object. If we define a star as an object capable of a self sustaining fusion reaction, anything more massive than that would also be a star or some sort of stellar remnant (white dwarf, neutron star, or black hole), not a planet.
