but u cant just tell billions of people that something is something for decades, and in a single day change that....

 

Well... honestly I really don't think they have any power over anyone... I guess you guys can just ignore everything the IAU says... What will they do send nasty letters to you guys?

what do you guys think?

I think this needs to be a poll. I say yes, its a planet. And so are the other bodies out there of similar status.

 

This could easily be another 'Yo momma' joke.

 

such as "Yo mamma so fat, they took pluto's planetary status away and gave it to her." :(

Pluto isnt an asteroid. Pluto revolves around the sun, so it's not a moon. Pluto's orbit isnt long or tight enough to be a comet. Pluto has a moon.

 

What characteristic, exactly, makes Pluto not a planet?

 

EDIT: Apparently, Pluto qualifies as a "sub planet" rather than a "planet" because it hasnt cleaned up the dust and asteroids in it's orbit, as the other 8 "planets" have.
