The parameters for the new definition of a planet, as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2006, are as follows:

1. Orbits the Sun.
2. Has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a nearly round shape.
3. Has cleared its neighboring region of other debris.
