“…As a distinct group of astronomical objects, planets are surprisingly common and diverse (Snellen et al 2022). Today, we know about many solar systems around different classes of stars, and we distinguish several types of planets, including hot Jupiters (gas giants with large mass orbiting extremely close to stars), sub-Neptunes (ice giants with gaseous envelopes smaller than Neptune or Uranus), super-Earths (rocky planets up to 10 times Earth's masses) or terrestrial planets (including Earth, Venus, or Mars).…”

Article preprint versionLikavčan ( 2024) 2 Another Earth: Astronomical concept of the planet for environmental humanities Since the notion of the Anthropocene entered the discourse of environmental humanities, it has prompted multiple conceptual innovations. This paper focuses on one such case: the term planetaryand the adjacent genre of planetary thinkingtheorized by a broad range of scholars. The original contribution of this paper lies in developing astronomical concept of the planet, derived from the definition agreed by resolution 5A 2006 of International Astronomical Union, which defines planets based on their dynamical context. By means of philosophical interpretation of the definition's underlying assumptions, the paper articulates standalone philosophical implications of the astronomical concept: the contextualization of the planet in expanded ecology of the solar system, paired with the understanding of the planet as a structure of phase gradients, and as a historical natural kind. Furthermore, the paper positions the astronomical concept alongside theorizations of the planet by Latour, Stengers, Clark & Szerszynski as well as Chakrabarty, touching upon the Gaia hypothesis or the concept of geological history. Finally, the paper encourages deeper disciplinary interaction between astronomy and environmental humanities. The benefits of this interaction are highlighted in the concluding discussion concerning multiplicity of planetary narratives, and applications of the astronomical concept of the planet.
