Uranus is an aggregation of matter.
Comment on Pluto is still a planet, just a dwarf one

They attempted to create a definition for an “exoplanet” but that never passed, so aggregations of matter orbiting stars outside the solar system have no official name.

I feel quite confident that we, as a species, will one day, in the not too distant future (maybe even next Sunday CE), come collectively to the conclusion that things that behave like the planets of our solar system but do so with regards to a different star also deserve the honour of being called planets. That’s the least bit of faith I have in humanity.
