To be considered a planet, an object must be massive enough to be rounded into a spheroid by its own mass but not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion.

Additionally, a planet must be orbiting a star or what used to be a star, and it must not be part of a disk of similar objects, like a Kuiper belt object.
