Pluto - is it a planet?

hmm, i'd rather pluto was still techinically a planet, but it doesnt really bother me that much. just as long as scientists dont randomly decide that earth is no longer a planet...caus that'd just be weird...
 
^I think if scientists decide that Earth isn't a planet, we'd have to wonder what they're smoking. :lol:

I wouldn't mind if they considered Pluto not to be a planet. Really, what are we going to do, hold up picket signs and march around NASA?

It's too far away to see, and the only reason it was considered a planet in the first place is because it's in orbit around our sun. -Again don't quote me on that. I have froot loops for brains.

*sigh* ...But I like Pluto. It's the name of a dog. :p
 
They're deciding whether or not they should drop Pluto off the planet list? That's just wrong! I've memorized all nine planets of the solar system in order and I even made a model of it when I was young! Pluto is still a planet to me even if they decide to drop it. :p
 
Now scientists are saying that there are 12 planets. There was an article about this on the front page of the Boston Globe this morning. The new planets according to this science committee are: Ceres which is between Mars and Jupiter, Charon which used to be considered Pluto's moon, and Xena which is further out than Charon/Pluto.
 
Whoa, Pluto's a planet??? I always thought it was Mickey's dog.

But seriously, I think that Pluto should stay a planet. And I dunno if I can handle anymore planets either. I mean it was hard enough learning all the orignal planets, now there's more?? jeez
 
These things were decided long ago and we shouldn't be mucking around with the gods' Zodiac choices. My chart is being subverted by Science. The dawning of The Age of Xena?
 
Although we learnt about the planets at school, and were taught loads of different ways of remembering them all in order, I can't remember them all to save my lfe! Especially all in order :eek: lol

However, I still strongly think Pluto should stay a planet
 
PRAGUE (Reuters) - Pluto was stripped of its status as a planet on Thursday when astronomers from around the world redefined it as a "dwarf planet", leaving just eight classical planets in the solar system.

"On Pluto, Plutonians stripped Earth of planetary status on the basis that it has no intelligent life to speak of, and is narcissistic enough to think it makes up the rules by itself. Raeleans agreed with the Plutonian decision and are considering removing all their clones from Earth in the near future."
