[...] blogwaffe » Pluto is not a planet but Neptune is? – Today’s IAU vote reduced the solar system’s planet count to eight. No, Pluto has not been forcibly removed from orbit for bad behavior, it has merely been demoted; Pluto has been designated a “dwarf planet” since it fails to meet the … [...]

Let’s assume sometime in the next few centuries some large objects fly into our solar system and by sheer chance take up various residences in sharply oval orbits that cross the orbits of Venus, Earth and Mars without actually ever becoming a threat to them in the next hundred thousand years or so. Congratulations, Earth will no longer be considered a planet.

It’s also entirely possible that as our ability to see further into space improves we spot solar systems with Uranus-sized objects criss-crossing each other’s path 180 degrees apart on differently shaped orbits. Hmm. No planets there.

Heck, an object has to be spherical AND have a clear orbit to even qualify as a DWARF planet. If we find an object of earth-sized mass that somehow holds the shape of a peanut and it’s orbit isn’t quite clear, what do we call THAT? A very large asteroid?

Neptune is bigger than everything else that orbits that far from the Sun. Pluto isn’t. So Neptune is a planet but Pluto is not.

Here’s my argument against Pluto’s planetiness (mostly in jest):

My argument does not take any account of the rules set forth by the scientific community because, well, I don’t care about their rules. Who says that if I jump up, I have to come back down? I hereby defy them all!
