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 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLANET | ORDER | APPEARANCE | ALTERNATIVE NAME | ||
| 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, (destroyed, now an asteroid belt, 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.
