What does PLANET mean in Scrabble?
noun
A large celestial body that orbits a star and does not produce its own light.
A planet differs from a star by shining only with reflected light rather than burning its own fuel, and it differs from a moon by orbiting a star directly rather than orbiting another body. Our own solar system currently counts eight planets circling the sun, from small rocky Mercury to the huge gas giant Jupiter. Astronomers have since found thousands of planets circling other stars as well, usually called exoplanets.
