I’ve always thought that stars in the sky are well, stars. But I just started to wonder, that are they just other stars or can we also see planets and such with our naked eyes? Like can the star be so bright that it could reflect the light from the planet so we can see it with just our eyes? Or are they all just other stars like our sun?

Here’s a fun fact that I feel like took me embarrassingly long to realize:
The sun traces a path through the sky every day from where it rises in the morning to where it sets in the evening. All of the planets (and the moon) will trace the same path through the sky as the sun. This is because all of the planets orbit the sun in the same plane.
