PLAN-it/ˈplænɪt/

A planet is a large round object in space that moves around a star: the planet Earth; a rocky planet. Star is a sun; moon orbits a planet. Name the planet in the data table. Mix-up: plant is a living thing or a factory (already in the dictionary); plane. Do not call the Sun a planet on this paper.

Meaning

A large round object in space that moves around a star.

Examples

• “Name the planet in the data table, not “a star” from a caption.”
• “A habitable planet featured in the physics extract, which is the orbiting-body sense.”

Good to know

the planet Earth; a rocky / gas planet. Trap: plant / star / moon. Physics, geography, and news. A world orbiting a star, not the star itself.
