Answer:
The not-planets. The solar system contains dozens of objects that are large enough for self-gravity to make them round, and yet are not considered planets. They include the major moons of the planets, one asteroid, and many worlds in the Kuiper belt.

Answer:
Moon is not a planet because it revolves around a planet rather than independently revolving around the Sun. Had it been a case that moon was independently capable of revolving around the Sun, then there would have been a much higher probability of it being classified as a planet, though only as a dwarf planet.
