List of gravitationally rounded objects of the Solar System
This is a list of most likely gravitationally rounded objects of the Solar System, which are objects that have a rounded, ellipsoidal shape due to their own gravity (but are not necessarily in hydrostatic equilibrium). Apart from the Sun itself, ...
This also includes a list of the eight planets according to the IAU definition.

List of former planets
This is a list of astronomical objects formerly widely considered ''planets'' under any of the various definitions of this word in the history of astronomy. As the definition of ''planet'' has evolved, the de facto and de jure definitions of plane ...

List of hypothetical Solar System objects
A hypothetical Solar System object is a planet, natural satellite, subsatellite or similar body in the Solar System whose existence is not known, but has been inferred from observational scientific evidence. Over the years a number of hypothetic ...

List of exoplanets detected by radial velocity
The following is a list of 456 extrasolar planets that were only detected by radial velocity method –– 31 confirmed and 323 candidates, sorted by orbital periods. Since none of these planets are transiting or directly observed, they do not ha ...

List of transiting exoplanets
This is the list of 232 transiting extrasolar planets sorted by orbital periods. All the transiting planets have true masses, radii and most have known inclinations. Radius is determined by how much the star dims during the transit and inclinati ...

List of directly imaged exoplanets
This is a list of extrasolar planets that have been directly observed, sorted by observed separations. This method works best for young planets that emit infrared light and are far from the glare of the star. Currently, this list includes both d ...

List of exoplanets detected by timing
This is the list of 20 extrasolar planets that were detected by timing –– 8 by pulsar timing and 12 by variable star timing, sorted by orbital periods. It works by detecting the changes in radio emissions from pulsars caused by the gravity of ...
