I think perhaps you mean the Plains of Abraham, which is a plateau outside of Quebec City in Canada. An important battle of the French and Indian War was fought there in 1759.

Genesis makes no reference to planets, but having come from "Ur of the Chaldeans", we might assume that Abraham was as observant of the night sky as the average Mesopotamian. In addition to the Sun and Moon, he would have been aware of Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. They would have Hebrew names of course, and they wouldn't have been balls of gas or rock to him, but he would have seen them.

This question makes no sense whatsoever among astronomers, amateurs and professionals alike. Perhaps it's a question that refers to astrology (as opposed to astronomy) but that's not my area, sorry.

to make it a simple answer. only the ones visible in the sky, but of course he did not understand them as planets, or maybe he did, but probably as signs of god because they were so brite in the sky. calculate back to his time and you'll have your answer
