If I look into the sky and I see two yellow dots it’s all stars for me. Then I hear one of them is mars and I’m like „ok, still looks the same“. How did the people hundred of years ago discover what’s a close planet and what’s a far away star?

Short version? Some ancient nerds with lots of free time on their hands spent a LONG time looking at the sky and paying attention to the patterns.
Then they started making *notes* because they thought it was important, and then they noticed some of these moved really differently to the others.
To be fair to them, if you don’t know what you’re looking at, the magical sky lights that are probably something to do with the gods and move in strange ways MIGHT be something you consider important enough to make notes in.
