text: According to the International Astronomical Union, in a 2006 landmark decision, a planet is defined as a i) a celestial body that orbits a star, but is not a star itself; ii) is massive enough to have achieved a nearly spherical shape due to its own gravitational accretion, and iii) has cleared it local neighborhood of significant solar system debris.
text: Planets were celestial bodies of varying size, large enough to be rounded into a spherical shape by their own gravity, but not massive enough to cause thermonuclear fusion.
text: Globe is cartographic representation of the surface of a planetary body on a three-dimensional shape (which can be spherical or non-spherical, such as a tri-axial ellipsoid), preserving the geometric similarity of both locations and outlines features.
