That said, the two moons larger than Mercury have less than half its mass, and it is mass, along with composition and internal temperature, that determine whether a body is plastic enough to be in hydrostatic equilibrium. Io, Europa, Ganymede, Titan, and Triton are generally believed to be in hydrostatic equilibrium, but Earth's Moon is known not to be in hydrostatic equilibrium, and the situation for Callisto is unclear. 1740: 1101: 836: 635: 1361: 20: 1231: 1168: 1405: 1279: 1212: 1149: 817: 750: 444: 967: 1548: 1424: 1486: 702: 240: 203: 283:– on the body's mass being sufficient to render it plastic, so that it relaxes into an ellipsoid under its own gravity. The IAU definition specifies that the mass is great enough to overcome 'rigid-body forces', and it does not address objects that may be in hydrostatic equilibrium due to a subsurface ocean or (in the case of Io) due to magma caused by tidal heating. Many of the larger icy moons could have subsurface oceans. 3053: 1802: 3065: 904: 1082: 1015: 884: 683: 428: 1846: 1721: 1655: 1592: 1342: 948: 436: 381:) are no longer in equilibrium. In addition to not being in equilibrium, Mimas and Tethys have very low densities and it has been suggested that they may have non-negligible internal porosity, in which case they would not be satellite planets.

When William Herschel announced his discovery of two objects in orbit around Uranus ( 2105: 182:) in 1787, he referred to them as "satellites" and "secondary planets". All subsequent reports of natural satellite discoveries used the term "satellite" exclusively, though the 1868 book 1878:
