Requirements to be a Planet
• The gravity at the equator must be at least 0.028 and no
more than 2.64.
• In order to be a planet, the planet must have at most 63
moons, but it is possibly for a planet to have no moons.
• 67 astronomical units is the distance from the sun that
the planet would have to be at most.
