Paragraphs are stylistic, so there is no one true answer. It's subjective. However, standard practice states that a paragraph contains a single thought and is generally more than one sentence. Paragraphs of dialog contain only one person's dialog and only one specific thought.
When you are talking about more technical writing, like an essay or argumentative paper, a paragraph should start with a statement and the other sentences support that statement. This is a variation on the idea that a paragraph contains a single thought and is used because in most cases, it works.
What a paragraph is NOT is a bag to hold a bunch of words. If you have more than one thought, break it into two paragraphs. If your thought is only one sentence, find another sentence or merge it with another, stronger thought. If you really are addressing only one thought, your paragraph can be as long as you like. Your reader may get fatigued by this, but it is a legitimate paragraph.
