Yawn. Science isn’t about popularity contests. You don’t vote on whether the speed of light is a constant or if gravity affects mass. Either something does what it’s supposed to do, or it doesn’t. If Pluto is defined as a planet then our moon should be classified as a planet as well. If the definition is one of size, orbit and whether the body has its own moons or not, then all bodies get classified by that definition. If the only reason for keeping Pluto classed as a planet is because of tradition and that “people want it that way”, then we go back to believing that the Earth is flat, blood is circulated by the liver, and that the earth’s core is solid.Pluto is one of several big rocks in the Kuiper Belt. Live with it.
