Jupiter

The first four of these planets, called the Jovian, or Jupiter-like, planets, are considerably larger than Ear ...

Why is Pluto no longer a planet
... A dwarf planet is a celestial body that is in orbit around the Sun, is massive enough for its own gravity to make it round, is not a moon but has not cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit. The latter point means that there are bodies of a similar size in the orbit of the dwarf planet. For examp ...
