No. But it’s just an arbitrary distinction anyways

There. Now it makes sense without Pluto.

It does not clear the debris of its orbit. Therefore, it is a dwarf planet or minor planet.
So, is the idea that it’s just not a planet yet? Kinda like a planet in training?

The classification of the nature of a planet does not remove it from being a planet.
Then the solar system has more than 13 planets.

Not quite. It isn’t in the process of evolving.
An example of what they are talking about is the fact that’s its moon is nearly as big as Pluto. Even earth, which has an unusually large moon, is significantly more massive than the moon. And that’s not the only element. It’s more likely to having been a rogue moon of Neptune than a object that formed.

It is. That where I came from. Not sure why I left though. The woman were super fine. Just a little cold.

The problem isn't whether Pluto is a planet. The problem is that if it is a planet, we have dozens of similar objects in the Kyper Belt
Yep if we let one be a planet, they’re all gonna want to be planets. And who’s got time to memorize all that.

Good question! The answer depends on how you define “planet.” Historically: Pluto was considered the ninth planet in the Solar System after its discovery in 1930. Currently (according to the IAU): In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) redefined what qualifies as a planet. Under their definition, a planet must: 1. Orbit the Sun, 2. Be spherical (due to its own gravity), 3. Have “cleared the neighborhood” around its orbit (meaning it’s gravitationally dominant in its orbit). Pluto meets the first two, but not the third—its orbit overlaps with other objects in the Kuiper Belt. So the IAU reclassified Pluto as a “dwarf planet.” Other views: • Some astronomers disagree with the IAU definition and still call Pluto a planet. • In 2017, NASA scientists proposed a different definition that would include Pluto as a planet again. So: ? Officially by IAU: Dwarf planet ? Debated by others: Could be called a planet depending on the definition you prefer.

You can’t say it’s not a planet then call it a planet. I’m sorry that doesn’t work.
That’s like saying “no it’s a dwarf is not a person. It’s just a dwarf person.”

Yea, it’s bizarre that’s why I made the post and it’s bizzaro coming from PhD folk acting like children!

No. It’s completely off of the galactic plane all real planets orbit.
Maybe Pluto is the only one on the galactic plane of planetary orbit and the other 8 are not.
