We say that a graph G is planar if...
Its vertex set V can be partitioned into two disjoint sets V_1 and V_2 such that every edge in the graph connects a vertex in V_1 and a vertex in V_2.
It contains a subset of vertices with at least n/2 elements such that every two distinct vertices in are adjacent.
There exist a path that visits each node exactly once.
It can be drawn on the plane in such a way that its edges intersect only at their endpoints.
