Which CELESTIAL BODIES are called FAILED PLANETS
Dear student,
The objects in the asteroid belt can be classified as failed planets. This is because the gravitational perturbation of jupiter and mars does not allow them to form into a planet.
Pluto is also a failed planet.
Basically, for a celestial body to be classified as a planet, it should follow some conditions. If is does not satisfy either of the condition, it can be called a failed planet. The conditions can be found in the link below.
