Detailed explanation-2: -The sun and the celestial bodies, which revolve around it and form the solar system. The sun is a star and is a natural source of light.
Detailed explanation-3: -In historical astrology, there were stars, transitory objects such as comets, and planets. Thus, the Sun and Moon were considered planets, but not the Earth.
