The planets of our solar system are wonders to behold. Balls of rock, gas, and dust, each planet has unique and fascinating features. The word planet is derived from the Greek word that means "wanderer". Ancient astronomers noticed that certain "lights" moved across the sky differently in relation to the other stars. Of course, they believed that these "wanderers" were orbiting the Earth, along with the Sun, and the Moon.
