should a frozen ball of ice orbiting the sun be called a planet, if not then why is pluto a planet?

Question

i was just inquiring because scientists have found three more structures outside of pluto they want to call planets

Answer 1

There are still debates as to whether or not Pluto is in fact a planet. Technically it does not fit the criteria of a planet but has become socially accepted to be called such

Answer 2

Didn't you hear? Some people are actually considering to stop calling Pluto a planet. It is for now, but it might not in a few years.

Answer 3

Pluto should not be called a planet.... it is a planetoid, or wannabe planet, and so are the rest of the icebergs floating in space that were recently discovered.

Answer 4

Of course it can be called a planet. Doesn't matter if it is a frozen ball of ice or not.

Answer 5

Why don't you go study astronomy and figure it out for yourself. I would imagine that scientists know just a bit more about this crap than you (or I) do. And anyway, who cares?
