According to Genesis, God created the lights in the heaven - the sun, moon, stars and planets - on the fourth day, and placed them in the firmament above the earth.
However, scientists say that the sun and stars existed long before the earth did. They now know that the earth is just one of the planets that circle the sun, and that these planets were almost certainly formed at the same time.

Why do the planets appear to move through the constellations instead of with the constellations as Earth rotates?
The apparent movement of planets through the constellations is due to the combined effect of Earth's orbit around the Sun and the orbit of the planets themselves. As Earth moves in its orbit, the perspective from which we view the planets changes, creating the illusion of them moving relative to the background of fixed stars in the constellations.
Why are planets visible?
Planets are visible in the night sky because they reflect sunlight. As they do not emit their own light like stars do, they rely on the Sun's light to make them visible to us here on Earth. The brightness and position of planets change as they orbit the Sun, making them observable at different times throughout the year.
