That applies to just about any other object in our Solar System - and equivalent objects in other solar systems: planets, moons, dwarf planets, asteroids, meteorites, pieces of dust, comets. I don't think there is a generic name for all of them.

Why is it easier to see the planets motion and not the stars?

stars DONT move. if they did our SUN would move. IT DOESNT DOES IT??? no. the planets move. sometimes it seems like the sun moves but its the earth orbiting the sun. THE SUN IS A STAR! so its possible that somewhere in the NEVER-ENDING space, there could be OTHER planets orbiting another SUN. and on one of those PLANETS there could be LIFE. so earth could possibly be only one of the MANY planets with LIFE. ........possibly........ Distance. Stars are too far away for you to see them move. They are all orbiting around the galactic core but what you see is the light they gave off years ago (eg--a star 1,000 light years away, the light will get here 1,000 years later). Download a good star chart and move the time line back or forward then you will see the stars move.
