Planet, Moon or Asteroid? What is a World?|⚛
Recently I did a couple videos on the definition of different types of bodies in our solar system. Namely planets and stars. It reminded me about a group of people who want to call all round bodies in the solar system that orbit the sun, planets. Not just the planets we know like the Earth and Mars, but also moons like our moon. One thing I think those people are missing is we already have a word that closely fits the definition for all those types of bodies: "World." Specifically, worlds in the astronomical sense. Not in the theological, philosophical or even cosmological sense. So, Planets, Moons, Asteroids... Stars? What in the world is a world? Let me Explain!
