Often astrologers are ridiculed for calling Sun and Moon, which according to the astronomy are a star and a natural satellite respectively, as planets. But Astrology, which particularly studies events on Earth, classifies all the celestial objects into two classes 1. stationary (नक्षत््र) - those objects which do not move with respect to each other 2. planets (ग््रह) - those objects which move with respect to the stationary objects. Both these classes have different significance.
