A:The biblical authors would have realised that the planets they saw in the sky were in some way different from the stars, but they did not think of them as being like the earth. Genesis 1:14-19 says that the sun, moon and stars were no more than lights that God placed in the firmament just above the earth, with the sun and moon to rule the day and night respectively. For the ancients, this was the limit of their knowledge and understanding of the planets, which for them were not 'out there' beyond the firmament.
