planetary bodies
Moons, planets, asteroids
Planetary bodies are natural objects in space that orbit stars or other celestial objects—planets, moons, asteroids, and dwarf planets.
The term appears in astronomy and space exploration contexts when discussing objects collectively rather than by type: The mission will study planetary bodies in the outer solar system.
Distinguished from stars, which generate their own light through fusion.
