The definition of planet, since the word was coined by the ancient Greeks, has included within its scope a wide range of celestial bodies. Greek astronomers employed the term asteres planetai(ἀστέρες πλανῆται), "wandering stars", for star-like objects which apparently moved over the sky.
The inner planets are Earth and Mercury.
