Topics for Researching Our Creator in Astronomy - The Planets
3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
Psalm 8:3-4
Planet - Astronomy
Planet, (Greek: planētes, “wanderers”) broadly, any relatively large natural body that revolves in an orbit around the Sun or around some other star and that is not radiating energy from internal nuclear fusion reactions. In addition to the above description, some scientists impose additional constraints regarding characteristics such as size (e.g., the object should be more than about 1,000 km [600 miles] across, or a little larger than the largest known asteroid, Ceres), shape (it should be large enough to have been squeezed by its own gravity into a sphere—i.e., roughly 700 km [435 miles] across, depending on its density), or mass (it must have a mass insufficient for its core to have experienced even temporary nuclear fusion). As the term is applied to bodies in Earth’s solar system, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), which is charged by the scientific community with classifying astronomical objects, lists eight planets orbiting the Sun; in order of increasing distance, they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto also was listed as a planet until 2006.

ATTENTION! - Very Important!
DO NOT just accept my words, or any other person's words or teachings for that matter. By all means, be a constructive skeptic, and study.
15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15
There is only one true Word.
14 The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
The record of the Word of God is given to us in the Holy Scriptures, inspired and infallible. Evaluate everything that is taught to you, everything! Measure what is told you against what is taught in the Bible. The Holy Bible was written by men who were individually selected by Almighty God, inspired by God's Holy Spirit to write God's words, infallable and incapable of being wrong, and is completely without error in its original autograph. The Bible is God's Word. With the Word of God, His Holy Spirit and prayer, you will be able to discern what is truth.
21 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;
1 Thessalonians 5:21
I am NOT an Apostle, or a Prophet, or a Worker of
Miracles, and I cannot speak or interpret "tongues".
I am just a seeker
of truth.
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6
Jesus is the Truth. I am simply a disciple, a student, a follower of Jesus, Yeshua, the Son of GOD. Jesus is the Way to the Father, the Truth in ALL things, and the Life, Life now, and Life Eternal.
You can't change the truth, but the Truth can change You.
Yours in Christ,
Joel Thomas
