Where did you get this idea from? Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. If Jupiter is no longer a planet, then none of the other planets are planets either - in that case what are you doing here?
It was Pluto that was down-rated.

Jupiter is still a planet.
A 'Jupiter number' might be a number that is reported by research company Jupiter Research. This doesn't replace the original Jupiter.
