• planets - Large natural objects that orbit a star or a stellar remnant. Planets are not radiating energy from internal nuclear fusion reactions, are not a brown dwarfs, and are bigger than an asteroid. Planets are large enough to have become round due to the force of their own gravity, and dominate the neighborhood around their orbit, and are thus distinguished from dwarf planets.
