Almost nothing was different, except our understanding of things. The stars have been shining for millions or billions of years; all the planets have been pretty much just where they are for about 4 billion years or more.
"Ancient" times in our human history is anything more than 2000 years ago.

Why do astronauts find it difficult to locate extrasolar planets with a telescopes?
Two reasons. (1) Such planets are very dim, from our point of view. Some of the planets in our own Solar System look roughly as bright as the brightest stars; now imagine them at least 100,000 times farther - that would make them 10 billion times dimmer, from our point of view. (2) Such planets are very close to their star - once again, from our point of view, i.e., considering the angular distance.
Where is Orion's belt in relationship to mars?
Mars has no fixed relationship to Orion, or to any other stars. In ancient times, Mars, Venus and Jupiter were called "planets", from the Greek word for "wanderer"; the planets wander across the fixed stars, which do not change their relationships. (They actually do, but so slowly that a lifetime isn't enough to see the changes.) Here in January, 2010, Mars appears near Orion in the evening sky, but as the Earth speeds past Mars in its orbit, Mars appears to move "retrograde" - the reverse of its normal path across the sky. By next month, it will have moved past Orion and will rise earlier and earlier each day.
A myth of why stars are in the sky?

planets, meaning the wanderers.
Why were planets called 'planets'?
The term "planet" is derived from the Greek word "planetes," which means "wanderer." In ancient times, planets were described as moving stars compared to the fixed stars in the sky. This is why they were called planets.
Which stars near the moon are planets?
Stars near the Moon are not planets. Planets in our solar system, such as Venus, Mars, and Jupiter, are sometimes visible near the Moon depending on their position in their orbits, but they are not stars. Stars are celestial objects that generate their own light through nuclear fusion, while planets do not emit light but instead reflect light from the Sun.
Are all stars and planets are about the same age?
All of the planets are in the same atmosphere. All of the planets are unique. All of the planets are considered planets. All of the planets have moons. All of the planets are named after a mythical person or thing.
What do modern astronomy and ancient astronomy have in common?
Many of the constellations are pretty much the same today as they were in ancient Greece. Pegasus, Hercules, and Orion are examples, as are the signs of the Zodiac. The planets have ancient Roman names. Very few of the stars have ancient European names, as astronomy of ancient times was kept alive by Arabs, who used their own names for the stars.
Where is the inner planets located?
The inner planets have been known about since ancient times. Astronomers in Ancient Egypt, Greece and Persia all would have studied the skies and noticed the inner planets. The planets, of course, are completely different to stars, as stars are 'fixed' in the sky (as we look at them, anyway), while planets seem to meander around going nowhere in particular. The odd behaviour led astronomers to attribute this to godly doings...
Why do stars planets and moons do not collide it self?
The moon is many times closer to the Earth than the stars are.

No, planets are not stars. Stars are huge balls of burning gas, planets are not. At certain times, there are 5 planets that are visible with the naked eye in the night sky. Some of these are similar to stars but much closer. They are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. See the related link for more information.

How are stars and planets different?
First of all, planets are way smaller than stars, stars are probably 10-1000's of times bigger than plants. Another thing is stars produce nuclear energy in their core so they burn and give of heat, which by far planets don't give off. The third thing is Stars have more gravity than planets so they make smaller bodies orbit around them. Planets are dark balls of rock and gas that orbit a star and stars are giant balls of hot gases that makes its own light and heat
How are planets different from stars?
Mainly in that they have a smaller mass. To be a "star", an object would need to be able to start hydrogen fusion. This requires a certain amount of mass and pressure at the core - which in turn require a certain minimum mass.
What planet comes from the greekmeaning wandering stars?
The planet that comes from the Greek term meaning "wandering star" is "planetes," which translates to "wanderer." In ancient times, planets were seen as "wandering" stars because of their movement across the night sky in relation to the background of fixed stars.
