WHAT DOES PLANETOID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Minor planet

A minor planet is an astronomical object in direct orbit around the Sun that is neither a planet nor originally classified as a comet. Minor planets can be dwarf planets, asteroids, trojans, centaurs, Kuiper belt objects, and other trans-Neptunian objects. The orbits of 620,000 minor planets were archived at the Minor Planet Center by 2013. The first minor planet to be discovered was Ceres in 1801, though it was considered to be a planet for fifty years. The term "minor planet" has been used since the 19th century to describe these objects. The term planetoid has also been used, especially for larger objects such as those the International Astronomical Union has since 2006 called dwarf planets. Historically, the terms asteroid, minor planet, and planetoid have been more or less synonymous, but the issue has been complicated by the discovery of numerous minor planets beyond the orbit of Jupiter and especially Neptune that are not universally considered asteroids. Minor planets seen outgassing may receive a dual classification as a comet. Before 2006, the IAU had officially used the term minor planet.
