What is the significance of planets and natural satellites even though no life exists on them?

Hello everyone , I am just curious to know , the significance of other planets and natural satellites in our solar system . Probably there are other galaxies , with same set of planets but
-why do they exist?
-How do they impact our life?
-How does understanding the geography of those planets help us?

Astrology analyzes the position of planets in the sky and decide the fate of us human beings. So is that the only purpose?

        Jun 21 2012: Please elaborate Bhatath. I have asked for clarification before to no avail but perhaps you need to know that I am not challenging you but rather wishing to understand.

          Jun 21 2012: Well Debra ,
          where do I start from ... I am a nature lover and I love the pictures of space too . The beauty of earth, its species and sun light , the atmosphere is so beautiful yet at the same time perfectly balanced . So we know why we exist and how everything is so beautifully balanced on planet earth .

          But on the other hand , when I read about other planets I find that they have either very high temperatures or extremely low temperatures , no gravity , cannot support life etc. So , we have travelled to space . Is earth's presence dependent on other planets ??for example Lets say we don't have planet Venus so does that mean Life support goes out of balance in our planet?? That is what I am trying to get an answer for ?
