Planets of Errea

Known as the 'Wandering Stars,' the planets are regarded as other stars orbiting the sun by most modern-day astronomers. Everyday people of Asdar and many astronomers do not distinguish between a star and a world as seen from Asdar, considering all distant lights in the sky to be merely "stars."

Ancient Hmœssite astronomers first proposed the order of the planets around the sun as follows, from nearest to sun to the furthest:

Order of the Planets according to Hmœssite Astronomers

Errean Planets

The Sun 0 Brilliant Sun Errea, Erre, Eriu, Amrulon, other solar divinities
Arathrax 1 Small, Red-brown star
Nesbiria 2 Shiny, Silver Star Gretla
Asdarah 3 Our own world Asdar
Azephassus 4 Reddish Gold Star
Pallathas 0 (5) Bluish Star Brom Jolom
Orion Pharaonicus 5 (6) Shining, Opalescent Star with Rings Aarothkopshaz
Parkyo 6 (7) Silver Blue Star
Asgion 7 (8) Bluish Green Star
Rhionacus 8 (9) Reddish Grey Star
Orkybanth 9 (10) Small, Dark Silver Star

Names of the Planets

The above names are the Ebinóëse-Midretassene names which have been adopted throughout the Pallathantic. The ancient Hmœssite astronomers used names from their own Hmœssite tongue which are familiar to Hmœssite scholars even today.

Pallathas This wandering star is big enough in size to be seen often even in the daytime star as a dull, blue-tinted star. The Planet Pallathas takes its orbit about the same distance from the Errean Sun as the asteroid belt is from our real-world sun.

Here below you can see the sun and the first six planets, from left to right: Arathrax, Nesbiria, Asdar, Azephassus, Pallathas, and Orion Pharaonicus with its rings. In this picture and the next, the planets are in scale to each other, but not in scale to distance.

Here below you can see all ten planets. After ringed Orion Pharaonicus are Parkyo, Asgion, Rhionacus, and wee little Orkybanth which probably shouldn't even be considered a planet.
