Question: is it true that the stars represent different galaxy's or planets?

The stars we see in the sky are exactly that, other stars – however we do see the other planets in our solar system, with the brightest usually being Jupiter. Some of these other stars will likely have planets orbiting them – but we can’t see them as we do our fellow planets. Other galaxies are all too faint to see with the naked eye – but using small telescopes we can see the closest such as the Andromeda galaxy.
