Solar Nuclear Reaction

Why planets do not collapse under its own gravity unlike stars?
It is well known that stars do not collapse under its own gravity as long as there is nuclear fusion reaction which counteracts/balances gravity. But in contrast planets do not have any reaction that could balance its mass. So how and what is preventing planetary mass from collapsing by itself (I am not saying planets should collapse and form a black hole which does not happen as long as the mass is less than 1.4 times solar mass, but still there must be collapse in the absence of any counter active force)?
"Electron Degeneracy Pressure" will halt the gravitational collapse of a star if its mass is below the Chandrasekhar Limit (1.38 solar masses). This is the pressure that prevents a white dwarf star from collapsing.
Anything with less than 1.38 solar masses (1 solar mass is the size of our sun) will be too small to collapse under its own gravity.
Most planets are far smaller than that.
potential solar energy - Solar Power Energy and its potential
Potential solar energy cannot be destroyed or created, according to law of energy conservation. However, this can be converted one form to the other form. These days, the energy consumption rate is incredibly growing and the requirement for the different search of new energy forms is essentially required by the engineers and the scientists. Hence, solar energy is the most in-exhaustible and extensive source of energy. Solar energy has the highest potential for becoming the prima-Donna of source of energy in the future. In fact, solar energy is the one of the things that can save us from disasters that are unknown and will be three when the need for energy exceeds far our energy supplies.
Potential solar energy is energy form, which is received in the electromagnetic radiations form by us from the reactions of nuclear fission that occurs inside the sun. These radiations from the nucleus of hydrogen are sent out, due to the mass defect that happens when two of such atoms combine to form Helium nuclei. This mass defect is then converted to energy known as solar energy. Until the consumption of all hydrogen atoms, the procedure of hydrogen atoms conversion into helium nuclei is continued and the procedure of radiating solar energy is continued until long-term. The nuclear fission process is without any interference of human being and is generated at no cost. To know more about potential solar energy you can read the details at earth 4 energy. The quantity of energy received from the sun by earth is much more as the loss of energy is least.
