All planets, whether inner or outer, orbit the sun, and all have an approximately round shape (sometimes slightly flattened into an oblate spheroid). They are all large objects with significant gravitational fields.

∙ 7y agoThey all have atmospheres (Mercury's is extraordinarily thin), all have elliptical orbits around the Sun, all are rotating as well as orbiting, and all are roughly in the shape of a sphere (all but Mercury and Venus have equatorial bulges).
*The IAU definition of a planet as "having cleared its orbit of smaller objects" does not mean there are not hundreds or thousands of small asteroids co-orbiting the Sun with each of the planets, many crossing the orbits of two or more planets.
