Why do planets appear to move through the background of stars?
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.
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 do planets wander?
The ancient Greeks called planets 'wanderers' because they appear to move through ther skies in relation to the 'fixed' stars. The apparent movement is because the planets are much closer to the Earth than the stars, and all planets rotate around the Sun, thus all move in relation to each other.
The strip of the sky through which the sun the moon and the brightest planets appear to move in the course of a year is called what?
The strip of the sky through which the sun, moon, and brightest planets appear to move in the course of a year is known as the ecliptic.
Why planets are called planets?
Because the ancient Greek astronomers were one of the first astronomers to discover the planets. As they looked at the planets over time they moved into different places. The planets seemed o orbit the Sun so the Greek astronomers called them planets, which meant :wanderers.

How do you distinguish between a star and a planet?
Stars in the night sky appear fixed, since they are much further away than planets. The planets can be identified through their apparent brightness and their movement among the background stars over time.

Why planets appear brighter than the sun?
There is no "why" because they don't.

Why do moons and planets appear to look shiny?
because they reflect sunlight
Why do planets and moons appear shiny?
because they reflect the light from the sun
Why does the moon appear to be larger than the planets?
The moon appears much larger than the planets because it is closer.
Why does planets appear to move around in the sky because?
Planets appear to move around in the sky because the Earth and planets are all orbiting the Sun at different speeds and distances. As Earth travels along its orbit, we observe the other planets from changing perspectives, making them seem to shift their positions against the background of stars. This creates the illusion of planetary motion in the sky.
