not a clue
The moon is many times closer to the Earth than the stars are.
The Sun and orbiting planets are MUCH closer to the Earth than other stars.
By observing their movements. It is actually quite simple: If you watch a planet for two consecutive nights, you can already detect movement among the background stars. You can do this with the naked eye - no special instruments are required. Stars, on the other hand, seem to be unmovable, year after year. It may take decades or centuries to detect a change for some of the nearer stars.
the planets orbit the Sun at varying speeds, causing them to appear to move against the fixed backdrop of stars as seen from Earth. This apparent motion is due to the Earth's own movement around the Sun, which creates the illusion of planets traversing the sky over time.

Planets appear to move through the background of stars because they orbit the Sun at different speeds. As the Earth and other planets move in their orbits, their positions relative to the background stars change, causing them to appear to move across the sky. This is known as planetary motion.
because they're way closer than the stars
Earth and Mars are planets, not stars. Stars are massive celestial bodies that generate light and heat through nuclear reactions in their cores, while planets are smaller bodies that orbit stars. Earth and Mars are both planets in our solar system that orbit the Sun.
Because the Sun is closer to the earth than all the other stars
the stars emitt its own light. But the planets do not have any own light. It absorbs the light from the stars like a sun. It just reflects the light. And also the stars are far away from the earth than the planets. So we can found the twinkling of stars but not the planets.
Astronomers study celestial objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies, which are located in space above Earth. While astronomers may not focus on the geology or atmosphere of Earth, their work is still aligned with studying the natural phenomena of the universe, making them closely related to Earth scientists.
