Planets are celestial bodies that orbit around stars, have sufficient mass for their self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces, and have cleared their surrounding region of other debris by gravitational attraction. There are eight recognized planets in our solar system, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
