The Gudersnipe Foundation defines a "planet" as any spherical object in orbit around a star of sufficient gravity that an individual weighing 180lb in earth-normal gravity can stand on it's surface without falling off into space.
The definitions are somewhat relaxed to include gas giants, of course.
Gudersnipe official definitions are made delibrately broad so as the encompass a wide variety of objects and ease classification standards.
Moons
A moon is defined as any natural object found in orbit of a planet, which is thought to have entered orbit naturally. By this logic even small pieces of rock debris can be classified as moons.
