Pluto, is it still a planet to you?

[Takoto]

Yeah, too me, Pluto is still a planet, just like Earth or Mars.

As Pluto is smaller than our own moon, let alone some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and has a satellite which is almost the same size as it, I don't believe that it's valid to call it a planet, when that would mean that certain asteroids, such as Ceres, would officially count as planets as well.

But, since it doesn't orbit another planet, And orbits our sun, It is a planet. Not a moon, not a comet, It's in an orbit of the sun. Thus, planet.

Asteroids and Comets orbit the sun. There are plenty of Asteroids out there much larger then Pluto and we don't call them planets. Look the fact is the definition of a planet changed. Pluto doesn't fit that definition and therefore is no longer a planet, period. There is no ifs ands or buts about it.

To put it bluntly unless your an astrologist or other type of expert on celestial bodies what you think Pluto should be doesn't matter. The experts agree that it isn't a planet under the current definition so it's not a planet, PERIOD.

No, not really.

I must admit I felt it was an unecessary change at first, but it makes sense now that I'm slightly less ignorant about stuff.

 

[NeutralDrow]

It still counts as a dwarf planet, right? That's good enough for me.

Spoiler: Besides, Pluto will never die.

Hm, no wonder I saw double.
And yes.
