The definition of a galaxy is an area of the universe where billions of stars, planets, comets, asteroids, and meteors are gathered relatively close together in our universe. A planet, however, is just a spherical object in space in a galaxy, and it's nowhere near as large as a galaxy is. Hope I helped!
