I know there has been controversy recently concerning Pluto. Whether it should be categorized as our ninth planet in light of the discoveries of other bodies that appear to be the same as Pluto, except more massive. So the controversy is whether they should be classified as planets as well, or classified as something else, and if they were to be classified as something else, would that mean that Pluto has to categorized as that something else too? While we're at it, what do you think the definition of a planet should be or is? I was just interested in what other people thought. Your responses are greatly appreciated.
