Dwarf planet to gradually become tidally locked, such that it always presents the same face to its companion. An extreme example of this is the Pluto–Charon system, where both bodies are tidally locked to each other. Earth's Moon is also tidally locked, as are many satellites of the gas giants. The upper and lower size and mass limits of dwarf planets have not been specified by the IAU. There is no defined upper limit, and an object larger or more massive than Mercury that has not "cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit" would be classified as a dwarf planet. The lower limit
Definition of planet storms [Titan] shouldn't be put into the same category, whatever you call it. However, he goes on to say that, "For most people, considering round satellites (including our Moon) "planets" violates the idea of what a planet is." Alan Stern has argued that location should not matter and that only geophysical attributes should be taken into account in the definition of a planet, and proposes the term "satellite planet" for a planet-sized satellite. In 2017, Stern, K. D. Runyon et al. proposed a new geophysical definition of planet that defined a planet simply as an object large enough to be
