Until 2006 our Solar System consisted of nine planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, but in the 21st century, new distant objects were discovered and changed everything. You can read: There is a planet with proportions similar to Earth: the new discovery of James Webb Definitions In that year, astronomers organized themselves and presented a new definition for Planet, which reads as follows: A planet is an object that: 1.- Orbits the Sun. 2. – It has enough mass for its gravity to overcome the forces of the rigid body, so that it assumes a form in hydrostatic equilibrium, that is, a spheroid. 3.- It has cleaned its orbit of planetesimals, or what is the same, it has orbital dominance . In other words, the path it follows around the Sun is clean, there are no rocks and dust, everything has become part of the planet.
