The common characteristic of all planets is 4. Orbit a star. All planets in our solar system and beyond revolve around a star (such as the Sun). The other options are not universally applicable to all planets. For example, not all planets have moons, and they do not have a maximum mass due to gravitational constraints. Planets do not necessarily repel nearby objects; gravitational interactions can lead to attraction instead.
