Etymology
The word 'planet' comes from the Greek word 'planetes', meaning 'wanderer'. In ancient times, planets were observed in the night sky and appeared to move differently from the fixed stars, hence the name. The concept of planets has evolved over time, from the classical seven planets to the modern understanding of various celestial bodies in orbit around stars.
