I don't know, but if Pluto has a atmosphere of any type, unlike our moon, then it should be a planet, that my definition, but i dont know if pluto has one or not.
But I can accept the Drawf statist, as long a planet is next to it, I mean think about it, there are human Drawfs, in fact TLC,and Discovery loves pointing that out (Shortest ppl, small world), but there still humans, nothing changed but the name
Same thing with these new fruits, that everyone keeps pointing out, that once would be considered vegetables, cucombers, tomatos, and now the oily flesh of the avacado, if its not sweet, in my opinion, its not a fruit

I'm upset by the news! I'm really sad. I was in favour of the concept to promote three more bodies to planet status. It made sense and the idea that this meant hundreds more could be added was in my mind a great one.
I'll get over it. I can live with the idea that our solar system has just eight planets even if the new definition still has some contentious aspect to it. Pluto, Charon, Ceres and 'Xena' as dwarf planets is ok - at least in a way we are still calling them planets.
Just me some time to grieve...
Oh, I think I'm going to cry, please excuse me...

i felt the same way. 1st thing, I thought strongly of Pluto being a planet. and then i realized, every text book, and most other book in the world say there are nine planets not eight, so that over millions of wrong "factual" books (which is a personal pet peeve, untrue facts). but i am happy because they finally made a decision and it is through and over with after over a very long time. im just wondering what they'll fight over next.............

I wasn't surprise since their has always been debates about whether Pluto should be call a planet.

Pluto is a not a planet, and Uranus has just been demoted to a body part.

Offended. If Pluto was a planet, why should it be demoted?

Was pretty bumbed out myself. R they going to go back and rewrite all the text books now? Did someone screw up? How could they have been wrong about something that important?

Yeah, I mean how can it not be a planet anymore? It will be kinda strange to have a new name to memorize.
