An expert panel tasked with resolving disagreement over what is and isn't a planet has recommended that astronomers qualify that term with another word.
The panel says astronomers should stop using "planet" on its own, and instead define different "planetary objects".

Under this scheme, Earth and Venus would be known as terrestrial planets, Saturn and Jupiter as gas giants and Pluto as a Trans-Neptunian planet.
