I do belive it cause it's true...
Oh it just doesn't have the features that a planet is supposed to have. Well, that is what scientist say. Although it is considered a "Dwarf Planet". Which is not actually a planet but a form of it...

I grew up believing the scientists; science teachers; and science books that all said Pluto was a planet. I always have an open mind to new ideas and different perspectives. Pluto is now properly re-defined and no longer a planet. I, however, am more comfortable still calling it a planet. I just know that it really isn't...anymore.

Sorry I'm still loosing sleep over it but the reasons are simple. either Pluto is a planet and that will make a possible 100 or so planets if what scientist think are in the kuiper belt are their (objects as big or bigger that Pluto) or its not (8 planets nice and easy for all those grade 2 and threes to remember).

Well since "planet" needs a definition, and scientists have the knowledge, how could I not believe it? It's a designation that humans give it. It doesn't change any fundamental property of Pluto, just it's description.

Well Scientists DO know a lot about space and have studied it for a long time-but still, I can't help but wonder how a planet can be a planet for so many years and then go to being considered "not a planet". You know? But hey, I guess those scientists know what they're talking about.

Yes i definately believe in it.Pluto is not a planet for two reasons.
1-Its too small,it should be considered as an asteroid which it now is.
2-The planets never cross the paths of the fello planets,while pluto crosses the path of all the planets.I hope you understand what i mean.
The reason why pluto was considered a planet was because it revolved round the sun.

What the 'scientific' say? Do you mean scientists? Well, since we define what a planet is, and Pluto doesn't qualify, I suppose if you DON'T believe us, you're demonstrateably wrong.

To me it will always be a planet, but then it was hard for people to accept that the earth wasnt the center of the universe at first and so on.

Pluto is a casualty of definition!!
