Celestial bodies. Generally divided into five types. Constant ones are fixed stars. Those orbiting fixed stars are planets. Those orbiting planets are satellites. Those appearing irregularly are comets. Those moving like arrows are meteors. Scientifically, this term includes the sun, moon, and earth. The sun is one of the fixed stars. Earth is a planet orbiting the sun. The moon is a satellite orbiting Earth. Colloquially, the small points of light in the clear night sky are specifically called stars, all being celestial bodies extremely far from Earth. | Stars appear at night and gradually disappear at sunrise. Hence, sparse things are likened to 寥落晨星 (scattered morning stars). | Stars are small and numerous. Hence, minute quantities are called 零星. Variety shops are also called 星貨舖, meaning displaying miscellaneous items. Also 星星 means "spotty," such as 星星白髮 (scattered gray hairs). | A type of divination. In ancient times, predicting fortune by star patterns was called 星家. Later, calculating fate based on birth date according to constellations was called 星士. Such as in the phrase 醫、卜、星、相 (doctor, diviner, astrologer, physiognomist). | Star name. One of the twenty-eight lunar mansions.
