    For an object to be specified as a planet, it must be large enough for gravity to shape it into a round ball.

    Explanation:

    Following are the criteria specified by the "International Astronomical Union" for an object to be recognized as a planet:

    The object must "orbit a star". It must have sufficient mass to achieve hydrostatic equilibrium, which in association with gravity gives the object a roughly spherical shape. It must be the biggest and the heaviest object in its orbit capable enough of keeping the orbit clear for its own motion.
