In Astrology, these were numbered as mentioned above.
Do any one Know, why and How ?

since when Sun is a planet?
Astronomically I mean.

I’m not sure why they are numbered in that order, but Rahu and Ketu feature in Hindu Astrology…
They are the invisible or phantom planets that oppose the sun and the moon… Not being Hindu I don’t really know anything more than this.

The Sun and moon are not planets by any standard. The numbering otherwise seems random.
There are only 8 major planets and a bunch of minor ones, including the newly demoted Pluto.

Nope. Considering the sun is not a planet, nor is the moon... and what is Rahu and Ketu?

The sun and the moon are not planets, did you pay attention in school?
Rahu and Ketu are your own delusions.

What no earth where is God's number then, I know we don't count the earth but it would make 10.
