Planets

A planet is anastronomical object orbiting a star or stellar remnant that

• is massive enough to be rounded by its own gravity,

• is not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion, and

• has cleared its neighbouring region of planetesimals.

Planets are generally divided into two main types: large low-density gas giants, and smaller rocky terrestrials. Under IAU definitions, there are eight planets in the Solar System. In order of increasing distance from the Sun, they are the four terrestrials,Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, then the four gas giants, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Six of the planets are orbited by one or more natural satellites.
