However, [[Sun\|the Sun]] and [[Moon]] are part of the Navagraha.

			In [[astrology]], the term ''planet'' originally applied only to the five planets visible to the [[naked eye]] and excluded [[Earth]]. The term was later broadened, particularly in the [[Post-classical history\|Middle Ages]], to include the sun and the moon (sometimes referred to as "lights"), making a total of seven planets. The [[Seven days of the week#Hindu tradition\|seven days of the week]] in the [[Hindu calendar]] also correspond with the [[seven classical planets]], and are [[Names of the days of the week#Hindu tradition\|named accordingly]] in most languages of the [[Indian subcontinent]]. Most [[Hindu temples]] around the world have a designated place dedicated to Navagraha worship.
