The word conjunction comes from the Latin conjunctio 'connection'. 'Connection' happens when two or more relationships or things are linked to each other. Grammatically, conjunctions are the words that connect words, clauses or sentences. For example, the seven English conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (also known as FANBOYS).
In astronomy, two celestial bodies are in conjunction when viewed in the same direction from Earth. When the planets are in conjunction in the sky, it is the angle of view that makes it possible. In this way, the viewing angle can also be considered the connecting link. If we had seen the planets from another point of view in the universe at the same time, they would not have given the impression of being aligned, and would not have been a reason to pay particular attention. The view will therefore always be the connection between where you are and what you are looking at.
