There isn't another Planet Earth, but there are planets that are more or less Earthlike. The current count of exoplanets discovered is 373. So far no actually Earthlike planets have been discovered according to NASA/JPL Planet Quest. Some planets have been discovered that may be somewhat Earthlike, as far as their distance from their star. "First discovered in 2007, Gliese 581d was originally calculated to be too far away from its host star—and therefore too cold—to support an ocean. But Michel Mayor and colleagues from Geneva University now show that the extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, orbits its host in 66.8 days, putting it just inside the cool star's habitable zone."It probably wouldn't feel exactly like home. But the planet known as Gliese 581d has a lot more in common with Earth than astronomers first thought. New measurements of the planet's orbit place it firmly in a region where conditions would be right for liquid water, and thus life as we know it, astronomer Michel Mayor, from Geneva University in Switzerland, announced." "It lies in the [life-supporting] habitable zone, and it could have an ocean at its surface," Mayor said during the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science conference, being held this week at the University of Hertfordshire in the U.K."

Answer 4

I think 'wanderer' is the term for which you are looking. The ancients noticed that the stars were stationary, but that some 'stars' moved from night to night. These were called planets, translating from their word for 'wanderer'.

Astronomical object (but that could apply to anything).

Answer 8

A globe, terrestial planet

Answer 9

i dont know if the term satellite would work, as in the earth is a satellite to the sun. i do know the term is commonly used for moons, so i beleive its relative to the body being orbited.

Answer 10

I suppose that if we were on the sun, we could could call the planets satellites.
