ecliptic
Parallax id the apparent shift in position of an object with respect to the background due to a shift in view point.
The planet that moves through the background of stars most slowly is Mercury. This is because Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and has a shorter orbit period than the other planets, resulting in a slower apparent motion against the background of stars as seen from Earth.
Nearby stars appear to change their position against the distant background in an annual cycle, because of the Earth's changing position 'across' its orbit. This apparent shift is called the star's "parallax".
"Parallax shift". We can't SEE the difference in position of any star as seen from the Earth 6 months later or earlier, but by measuring the very tiny differences in the positions of the more distant stars, we can observe the "parallax" of a star and thus calculate its distance. This only works for stars less than about 300 light years from Earth.

The apparent brightness of stars is called "apparent magnitude", and it is written with a lowercase "m" after the number.

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.
Solar System models, especially mechanical models are called orreries.
