A planet is a celestial body that is (a) in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit. Our Solar System has eight planets.
Bodies which fulfill the first two conditions but not the third (such as Pluto, Makemake and Eris) are classified as dwarf planets, provided they are not also natural satellites of other planets.
The fact that the commentators on this site, and many others, are questioning the veracity of manned moon landings proves that people are having their doubts as to whether 1969-era technology was up to the task of interplanetary travel, in light of 14 subsequent fatalities involving low-Earth orbiters.
yes it is a planet. it's exactly like mars,earth,saturn,etc. only difference it has too low gravity and it evolves around the earth not the sun. but it is a planet,check the definiton.

That was quite a reception. These days, no one cares even if you've been to Mars.

The moon is a MOON not a planet. A planet orbits around a star, a Moon orbits around a planet.

But what you said is correct as the Moon is not a planet.

correct, but we have visited another celestial body outside of earth.

Ugh this is annoying. Read my comments in context; I've been voted down 3 times already by people that think I'm denying a moon landing. -_-
