- Benda tersebut memiliki massa yang cukup agar gravitasinya sendiri mampu mengatasi gaya benda tegar sehingga benda itu mencapai keadaan kesetimbangan hidrostatik (hampir bulat).
- Benda tersebut telah membersihkan lingkungan di sekitar orbitnya

Definisi planet, semenjak kata tersebut diciptakan oleh orang Yunani kuno, telah mencakup berbagai benda langit. Astronom Yunani menggunakan istilah asteres planetai (ἀστέρες πλανῆται), "bintang pengembara", untuk objek serupa bintang yang tampak bergerak di atas langit.
