A science quiz ...

Since there seems to be a little doubt now, I thought I would ask my friends. What do you think of this ???

I always felt that since Pluto orbits on a different plane than the rest of the planets it probably didn't form with them when the solar system was formed, but was probably captured in orbit as it passed by, or was a moon that was knocked away or something. So it shouldn't be a planet, by definition.

I don't think size should be an issue. It should be when/how it was formed and its resulting orbit (since they're all on the same plane). Although then each asteroid in the asteroid belt could be a separate planet, so who knows?

You see ... all men agree

Size doesn't matter
