The first thing we have to know about this term at hand, before its meaning, is its etymological origin. In this case, it must be established that it comes from the Greek word "astron", which can be translated as "star".

Types of astro
A planet is a star. It is a celestial body that revolves around a star and, thanks to the fact that it reflects lights, it is possible to observe it even if it lacks its own light. Continuing with this definition, we can say that the Earth is a star, like Mars , Jupiter , Venus and the rest of the planets.
Stars , which are celestial bodies capable of emitting light, are also called stars. The Sun , Antares and the Pleiades are some of these stars.
