Pourquoi est-ce feminine ?

Planète is feminine because it derives from Latin "planēta," which was borrowed from Greek "planḗtēs" (a masculine term meaning "wanderer"). In Latin, the word took the form "planēta" with a feminine -a ending, which influenced its gender classification. This feminine gender was maintained when the word passed into Old French and modern French. The feminine gender was reinforced by analogy with other celestial bodies like "stella" (star), which is also feminine in Romance languages.
