Re: Mars
The point is moot, Brother Bathfire.
When the word planet was coined all it signified was that some ancients had noticed that a few of the stars, five of them, moved about. They called these stars wanderers, which in their language is planet. The planets are just special stars in the same way as a square is a special rectangle.
The scientists even make up special planets that nobody can see except in pictures they claim are taken through telescopes. Well I have a telescope and if I look at a star through it it just looks like a slightly larger dot. But we are supposed to believe that they are there.
Scientists have warped the word to mean something completely different and even claim that the Earth is a planet despite the fact that anyone with sense can see it is not a tiny glowing light in the firmament that just moves around as its only unique quality. Mostly because we stand on it and walk around.
