Definition of a planet in English English dictionary
- planet
- Each of the seven major bodies which move relative to the fixed stars in the night sky—the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn
The moon . . . began to rise from her bed, where she had slumbered away the day, in order to sit up all night. Jones had not travelled far before he paid his compliments to that beautiful planet, and, turning to his companion, asked him if he had ever beheld so delicious an evening?.
- planet
- Any similar spherically shaped or tidally elongated body in orbit around a star or binary star which has cleared the debris out of its orbital path, but which has not attained nuclear fusion
- planet
- Any of various rocky or gaseous spherical bodies orbiting the Sun, specifically the eight major bodies of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. (The Galilean moons, four major asteroids, and the dwarf planet Pluto were formerly included, in the 17th, 19th, and 20th centuries respectively.)

- planet
- Any similar spherically-shaped body, in orbit around a star or binary star, which dominates its orbit in size but is not massive enough for fusion

- planet
- A planet is a relatively large object that orbits a star Actually the definition for exactly what can be called a "planet" is uncertain, and there are no specific lower size limits The planet Pluto by all logical accounts is too small to be a full-fledged planet, yet orbits the Sun in an independent orbit and was originally judged a planet However, it is smaller than Earth's Moon, and there may well be other objects as large orbiting the Sun (trans-Neptunian objects) However, there are definite upper limits to the size of a planet Objects with masses about ten times that of Jupiter form a class of objects intermediate between stars and planets They are called "brown dwarfs " Brown dwarfs give off too much energy to be planets, yet they are too small to exhibit the full nuclear fusion processes that defines stars

- planet
- A planet is a large, round object in space that moves around a star. The Earth is a planet. The picture shows six of the nine planets in the solar system. Supposed distant planet of the solar system, hypothesized on the basis of calculations of effects on the orbits of Uranus and Neptune. The term was first used by Percival Lowell 1905, and though his prediction eventually resulted in the discovery of Pluto (1930), Pluto's mass was insufficient to explain the apparent perturbations of Uranus and Neptune. Proposals and searches for other planets beyond Neptune or Pluto continued sporadically during the remainder of the 20th century. However, Voyager spacecraft data gathered about the masses of the outer planets indicate that no additional large bodies are needed to explain the planets' observed orbits. See also Kuiper belt. Any large body orbiting the Sun or another star (see planets of other stars); comets, asteroids, meteoroids (see meteor), and natural satellites are excluded. The word comes from the Greek for "wanderer," because their positions change relative to those of the stars. The nine major planets known to revolve around the Sun, in order of increasing distance, are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The first four are called terrestrial planets and the next four Jovian planets. Pluto, distinct from either group, resembles a giant comet or one of the icy satellites of the Jovian planets. The terrestrial planets are less than 8,000 mi (13,000 km) in diameter and rocky, with comparatively thin or negligible atmospheres. The Sun's heat is thought to have prevented the abundant gases in the original solar nebula from condensing in them. The Jovian planets formed farther out, where the gases were cool enough to condense, so the planets grew very massive and accumulated huge atmospheres of light gases, mainly hydrogen and helium. Called gas giants, the Jovian planets appear to be similar in structure; none has an accessible surface. Pluto is by far the smallest body traditionally called a major planet, although many astronomers now consider it the largest known member of the Kuiper belt. Additional bodies rivaling Pluto in size may exist in this region of the solar system; one about half its size was discovered in 2002. The term minor planet is sometimes used (less now than formerly) to refer to any of the asteroids that lie between the terrestrial and Jovian planets. In astrology great importance is placed on the planets' positions in the 12 constellations of the zodiac. See also planetesimal; solar system. Planet X planets of other stars extrasolar planets
- planet
- A major object which orbits around a star In our solar system, there arenine such objects which aretraditionally called "planets'': Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (There are no "official'' specifications for how big an object must be to be called a planet rather than, for example, an "asteroid '') While no individual planet has ever been seen orbiting around another star, we wouldn't expect to see them, given the limits of current technology It is suspected, though, that planets are common companions of stars
