The Bible doesn't even mention other planets. Until very recently, there had never been an attepmt to give a solid definition as to what a planet is. The only thing that was required to be a planet was that it was a celestial body that orbited a star or individual system of stars (like binary stars) The problem is that all the junk in the asteriod belt would qualify as planets, then, as well as arguably moons that orbit planets which orbit stars. Various qualifications were proposed. Ultimately, the one that was widely accepted (though not completely) that disqualified Pluto was that it must orbit around a star and nothing else. Pluto's moon, Charon, is close enough in size to Pluto itself that the moon does not orbit around Pluto. Instead, both of them orbit around a point in space between them (closer to Pluto, but not anywhere inside Pluto). As such, Pluto and Charon both orbit that point which orbits the Sun, rather than Pluto itself orbitting the Sun.

I find it completely stupid. I mean, so what if Pluto is small, because now you have to go back and change all those textbooks that kids are learning from. It was a complete waste. I don't see what harm it would do if Pluto was still a planet.

Old news, Bud. Scientists decided it was dead, so it is no longer a planet in our system.
