Well the Ancient Greeks of B.C. times couldn't view the stars and planets the way they can view from those telescopes they have now could they? To their naked eye planets looked like stars except for the fact that they don't twinkle they shine.
But until those telescopes were invented those ancient Greeks couldn't tell Saturn had rings or Uranus was on its side, or Jupiter had a giant red spot on it where consistently it storms. 
They didn't know the details of the surface, but they could distinguish them by their movement against the stars and perform calculations about their future movement - hence the name planites, wanderers.
Quote:And ur slander towards prophet Jesus pbuh I'm sure u meant to be offensive towards my belief. But my friend unlike Christians we as Muslims do not worship Jesus pbuh nor any other being besides God

No, wasn't meant offensive towards your belief. I just needed some expletive and that was the first one that came to mind. I know you don't really worship Jesus, but you guys do recognize him as a prophet, no?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
