Spatial Aspect: A Study of the Definition of Planets and Their Formation

By: Scaglia, Beatriz

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Celestial bodies that orbit a star or stellar remnant are known as planets.

This book explores planets from classical definitions to the latest definition by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2006 which most notably removed Pluto from planet status.

Also included is the history of planets through Babylonian and Greek astronomy, the mythology used in naming planets, formation, and attributes.
