    Planet: The object orbits the sun

    Not planet: The object is a satellite

    Planet: The regions surrounding the object are free from debris

    Not Planet: The object is triangular in shape.

    Explanation:

    A planet is characterized as:

    Spheroidal (or at least big enough to be round-ish)

    It should orbit the sun (not other planets, so satellites like the moon is not considered as a planet)

    It should have no debris, or cleared of debris around its orbit

    Although there is now the dwarf planet category, it satisfies almost all charateristics to be considered a planet, except the cleared of debris part.
