Why isn't Pluto considered a planet?

DisneyLGBTQ+ says it’s a dog is why.
Not even Big Space can fight The Mouse.

Because it doesn't match the criteria astronomers use to define a planet.
>>
>>17083960
Because it doesn't dominate it's orbit. If Pluto was a planet there would be dozens of similar objects in the kuiper belt that you have probably not even heard off. Since Astronomy cares about being approachable for funding reasons they figure it's easier to sell 8 planets to kindergartners such as yourself rather than 100.

It was "decided" at the end of a conference when most people had left. It was a coup committed by people who had it in for Pluto and knew they couldn't get everyone on board.

The Mouse paid off the voters.

because Neptune is transphobic.

People of a certain age who haven't done anything else useful nevertheless feel a need to spray their cat piss on the academic flame they've carried and passed on. More often than not, there's a reversion to the mean in these cases. I'd bet that at least two of the following will revert before I die: Pluto to planet, BCE and CE to BC and AD, 1 to default minimum of N.

I'll add "domain" reverting to superkingdom. There's no reason to ask "did" king philip come over from geneva switzerland, as if it were a question; it's an answer.

There is a more massive celestial object in the solar system than Pluto and because that one is not a planet, Pluto is not a planet either

>if my mom’s not a planet then neither is Pluto
Finally a definition of planet we can all agree on. As large as Anon’s Mom is, she is not a planet, and neither is anything smaller.

It doesn't recognize the state of Israel.

Trump is going to make it a planet again. Trust the plan.

Only if you vote like Pluto is on the ballot. And endorse your $5K check back to MPAPA.

Really, it is 2026 folkx. Do we really need to keep posting these ableist slurs.

Edit: Thanks for the gold

>Why isn't Pluto considered a planet?
Because then NASA would have to admit the conspiracy theorist were correct about Planet X
Now that Pluto's no longer a planet, they can announce they discovered Planet 9.
>>
>>17083960
>>17083977
Because Europeans were angry that Americans had discovered more planets than they did, so they invented a new definition of planet specifically to exclude American discoveries in order to preserve and inflate their own sense of self-importance.

>>17083960
if pluto is a planet, ceres is also one, and many more after pluto

some limits have been put to split planets and big rocks

Mike Brown hates Pluto and rigged the IAU vote with his friends
>>
because it's basically a moon of Neptune like Triton.
also because some Yank found it, and nobody likes Yanks, not even most Yank voters.
>>17085514
there's also this, Brown (and Batygin) wanted the glory of finding Planet Nine, which is funny because that one likely doesn't even exist.
>>
>>17083960
Daily reminder that there are only 8 planets in the entire universe. This is scientific fact. How fortunate we are to exist in the only solar system that has planets.
>>
>>17085533
This can't be a coincidence.

Also, now I'm aware of the bank manager's affiliation
>>
But he was pretty cool.

I just knew he knew.

Also the tellers. But I knew that for awhile.

Should have assumed the manager.

They just moved a bunch of Texans up here to fucking vote. God knows from where else.

Technically everything is a planet (which means wanderer) because they move through the night sky, and none of them are actually fixed, as was supposed when the 'wandering planet' vs 'fixed star' distinction was formulated.
>>
>>17085403
Planet Nine is still just a theory; we don't know if it exists yet.

>>17084115
>geneva switzerland
america was a mistake
>>
>>17083960
because we'd have to admit there are dozens of planets
>>
>>17083960
because retarded children who can't count above 8 would be filtered from astronomy.
