Whilst we are on the topic, it is worth noting that the planets do not appear just anywhere in the skies (or on the celestial sphere). Their orbits are such that their movements in our solar system are restricted to a "belt" only ± 8 degrees wide, centred on the ecliptic. This 16 degree wide belt is the zodiac and contains those signs which the planets “appear” to move through, hence their name “the Wanderers”, which means planet.
