There are ten hindrances to Enlightenment (shown below) and four stages of realization (Enlightenment) based on how many hindrances have been eliminated and / or the degree to which they have been eliminated.

A Buddha is someone who is fully enlightened. A person who is fully enlightened, but not The Buddha of our time, is called an Arahant in Pali. Such a person has eradicated all ten hindrances to Enlightenment:

    The belief in a permanent personality, ego
    Doubt, extreme skepticism
    Attachment to rites, rituals, and ceremonies
    Attachment to sense desires
    Ill-will, anger
    Craving for existence in the Form world (heavenly realms)
    Craving for existence in the Formless world (heavenly realms)
    Conceit
    Restlessness
    Ignorance

(from Anguttara Nikaya 10.13)

An Anagami (Non-returner) has completely eradicated the first five hindrances and never returns to earth or any other world system (planet, solar system). Such a person is re-born to a heavenly realm and attains Enlightenment from there.
