What is a Planet?

For one reading task this week we had to write one paragraph about what a planet is. We used the information we got from a site describing what a Planet is.

Here is my paragraph.

What is a planet?

A planet has three criteria's, has to be round,

orbits the sun and it must have cleared the

neighbourhood of its orbit. We have eight

planets that have got all of the criteria's.

But if a planet does not have all the

criteria's and only two,it is called a

Dwarf planet. We have five dwarf

planets such as Pluto,

Makemake,Haumea,

Eris and Ceres. So those dwarf

planets are the ones that didn’t

have all the criteria's.
