Take a look at encarta definition of planet.

Planet, any major celestial body that orbits a star and does not emit 
visible light of its own but instead shines by reflected light.

What about volcanos, A-bombs, radiowaves, astroid impacts etc. Even if we 
can't see the light,
it is still emitted. According to this, the earth is not a planet.

Planet, any major celestial body that orbits a star would have been 
sufficient.

Defining is a tough nut to crack.

I pose this incident because after all the good discussion and mention of 
specific sequences and
the opinions brought forth, I still do not know exactly what a "base" 
sequence is.
