A planet-hosting star is a star that has one or more planets orbiting around it. These stars can belong to various types, including main-sequence stars like our Sun, giant stars, and even some types of dwarf stars. The process of detecting these planets involves observing various stellar properties, including changes in the star's brightness, wobble, or shifts in spectrum, which can indicate the gravitational effects of orbiting planets.
