why do the planets look like stars
Planets but the look like stars
A astronomer would look at stars planets and the moon.
Firstly, planets are way way smaller than the stars! That's because you can see stars in the night but never planets. Also stars produce nuclear energy in their core so they give thermal ( heat ) energy. Also stars have more gravity than planets.

To heal the sick just like they do today.
Its a place where you look at the stars and planets. Most people who study astronomy go there.
If you look at it in a planetary perspective they are called moons. But if you look at it in a solar system perspective they are called planets, dwarf planets and asteroids. If you look at it at a galaxy size they are called Suns and Stars.
There are several bright stars. Planets move around the Ecliptic, covering 13 constellations or so. Note that planets look like stars, but are not currently considered stars. Also note that some of the planets look brighter (to us) than any real star. Other than planets, the brightest stars are the Sun (also changes through the constellations of the Ecliptic), Sirius (Canis Major), Canopus (Carina), and Toliman (Centaurus).
Planets move, may have a very very slight color tinge, and they twinkle more than stars. you gotta reeeally look close to see it with the naked eye.
