"Stars a planet", that's what ''astra planeta'' means in Latin. (Nor is the mock Greek ''Αστρα Πλανητα'' any better.) ''Astra'' is the plural of ''astrum'', which is a neuter noun which can be interpreted "star". ''Planeta'' is the Latin word for planet; it is a masculine singular noun. It is not an adjective meaning "wandering". If it were an adjective, it would need to match ''astra'' in number (plural) and gender (neuter). |

The Latin term for "wandering stars" is ''stellae errantes''. The word ''errantae'' which appears in the article is not a Latin word. The ''stellae errantes'' of Latin literature were the seven (not five) [[Classical planets]]: the sun. the moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Mercury. |

Fake Latin
"Stars a planet", that's what astra planeta means in Latin. (Nor is the mock Greek Αστρα Πλανητα any better.) Astra is the plural of astrum, which is a neuter noun which can be interpreted "star". Planeta is the Latin word for planet; it is a masculine singular noun. It is not an adjective meaning "wandering". If it were an adjective, it would need to match astra in number (plural) and gender (neuter).
The Latin term for "wandering stars" is stellae errantes. The word errantae which appears in the article is not a Latin word. The stellae errantes of Latin literature were the seven (not five) Classical planets: the sun. the moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.
These inaccuracies are obvious to anyone who knows any Latin, and they are all unsourced. Indeed, the whole article is unsourced, and should be replaced by a redirect to Classical planets. Rwflammang (talk) 00:14, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
