Sun has the most influence since it is giving us the light and energy. Then Moon which moves the tides, influences weather, vegetable growth, etc. Then other planets... We could ask Sadaputa Prabhu about his understanding from scientific point of view about this. I hope this finds you blissful and healthy in Krishna consciousness.
