Planemo vs Mesoplanet - What's the difference?

planemo | mesoplanet | see also |

In astronomy terms the difference between planemo and mesoplanet

is that planemo is an astronomical object with enough mass to achieve hydrostatic equilibrium, but not enough to initiate core fusion at any time in its existence. That is, it is rounded in shape and is smaller than a star. Planemos include planets, dwarf planets, and the larger moons of the Solar System, but also sub-brown dwarfs and rogue planets between the stars while mesoplanet is a habitable planet, such as Earth, that has a surface temperature of 0–50°C, optimal for much terrestrial life.
