planets

Definition of planets in English English dictionary: a very popular piece of classical music by Gustav Holst, in which each of the different parts represents one of the planets (such as Mars or Jupiter) and the Roman god after whom it is named (1916); Twelve locations in astrology: Tellus, Lilith, the Moon, the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto Because of our location in the Cosmos, astrology for our planet lists the planets in order of distance from Tellus, not the Sun or any other planet Astrology using the planets on their own merit is known as tropical astrology; The traditional "planets" used in a horoscope are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto The Sun is actually a star and the Moon a satellite of Earth The Sun and Moon are sometimes called "the Lights" to distinguish them from the planets, but generally all are lumped together for convenience Earth is not included in most horoscopes because they are geocentric--viewing everything from the perspective of Earth One could visualize Earth as occupying the exact center of the horoscope; In most brances of modern astrology, the term is applied to the heavenly bodies, with the exception of meteors and comets, which revolve about the Sun, plus the Sun and the Moon Astrologers realize that the Sun and Moon are not planets in the astronomical sense, but continue for the sake of convenience, the traditional nomenclature In ancient times the term, which means "wanderer" was applied to those heavenly bodies which appeared to move against the backdrop of fixed stars; Celestial bodies such as the Earth which orbit the Sun (and by extension, similar orbiters around distant stars) Counting from the Sun outwards, planets visible to the eye are Mercury, Venus, (Earth), Mars, Jupiter and Saturn The telescope also sees the more distant Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, as well as smaller asteroids (most of them inside the Jupiter orbit) and Kuiper objects (in the outer solar system) See also retrograde motion; plural of planet; the dice ratings on your character sheet They rate how much the various Forces affect your character; Smaller numbers indicate a stronger influence Also, a metaphorical term for the Forces; each Force is thought to be governed by one of the known Planets; There are nine planets in the Solar System, including Earth Each planet is unique, but also has some similarities Check out the information on planets; Aberdeyn, Heksnya's Foil: the fourth planet from the sun; Saturn , Jupiter , Mars , Sol (Sun) , Venus , Mercury , Luna (Moon)
planets of other stars: or extrasolar planets Planets that orbit stars other than the Sun. The existence of extrasolar planets, many light-years from Earth, was confirmed in the early 1990s with the detection of three bodies circling a pulsar. The first planet revolving around a more sunlike star, 51 Pegasi, was reported in 1995. Within a decade over 100 stars with one or more planets were known. Current detection methods, based on the planets' gravitational effects on the stars they orbit, have revealed only planets much more massive than Earth; some are several times the size of Jupiter. A number of them have highly elliptical orbits, and many are closer to their stars than Mercury is to the Sun. These findings have raised questions regarding astronomers' ideas of how Earth's solar system formed and how typical it is

planet: A planet is a relatively large object that orbits a star Actually the definition for exactly what can be called a "planet" is uncertain, and there are no specific lower size limits The planet Pluto by all logical accounts is too small to be a full-fledged planet, yet orbits the Sun in an independent orbit and was originally judged a planet However, it is smaller than Earth's Moon, and there may well be other objects as large orbiting the Sun (trans-Neptunian objects) However, there are definite upper limits to the size of a planet Objects with masses about ten times that of Jupiter form a class of objects intermediate between stars and planets They are called "brown dwarfs " Brown dwarfs give off too much energy to be planets, yet they are too small to exhibit the full nuclear fusion processes that defines stars

planet: A planet is a large, round object in space that moves around a star. The Earth is a planet. The picture shows six of the nine planets in the solar system. Supposed distant planet of the solar system, hypothesized on the basis of calculations of effects on the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. The term was first used by Percival Lowell 1905, and though his prediction eventually resulted in the discovery of Pluto (1930), Pluto's mass was insufficient to explain the apparent perturbations of Uranus and Neptune. Proposals and searches for other planets beyond Neptune or Pluto continued sporadically during the remainder of the 20th century. However, Voyager spacecraft data gathered about the masses of the outer planets indicate that no additional large bodies are needed to explain the planets' observed orbits. See also Kuiper belt. Any large body orbiting the Sun or another star (see planets of other stars); comets, asteroids, meteoroids (see meteor), and natural satellites are excluded. The word comes from the Greek for "wanderer," because their positions change relative to those of the stars. The nine major planets known to revolve around the Sun, in order of increasing distance, are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The first four are called terrestrial planets and the next four Jovian planets. Pluto, distinct from either group, resembles a giant comet or one of the icy satellites of the Jovian planets. The terrestrial planets are less than 8,000 mi (13,000 km) in diameter and rocky, with comparatively thin or negligible atmospheres. The Sun's heat is thought to have prevented the abundant gases in the original solar nebula from condensing in them. The Jovian planets formed farther out, where the gases were cool enough to condense, so the planets grew very massive and accumulated huge atmospheres of light gases, mainly hydrogen and helium. Called gas giants, the Jovian planets appear to be similar in structure; none has an accessible surface. Pluto is by far the smallest body traditionally called a major planet, although many astronomers now consider it the largest known member of the Kuiper belt. Additional bodies rivaling Pluto in size may exist in this region of the solar system; one about half its size was discovered in 2002. The term minor planet is sometimes used (less now than formerly) to refer to any of the asteroids that lie between the terrestrial and Jovian planets. In astrology great importance is placed on the planets' positions in the 12 constellations of the zodiac. See also planetesimal; solar system. Planet X planets of other stars extrasolar planets
