Jupiter is no longer a planet

[JAB Creations]

Jupitor is no longer a planet because some scientists are dead set on demoting Pluto.

The definition of a planet (voted by only five percent of the world's astronomers) is an object that, "has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit." Jupitor has 50,000 Trojan asteroids and so can no longer be considered a planet.

A good read about a sour topic...

A different proposal has suggested an object with enough mass to create and maintain a sphere shape is much more acceptable.

The size (or clearing) or an object to determine it's planetary status is like saying if something has 50px margin, 350px padding, 7,000px border, and a 4px width that it's width is actually 4px.

I might also add that most scientists (95% of them) were denied access to vote.

So what if Pluto is the only small outer planet? If they find 200 more Plutos then that just makes 209 planets in our Solar system. I don't know about anyone else but I prefer the idea of finding something versus nothing out there in the vastness of space!

You have to remember that Pluto orbits a lot slower as well due to the distance from the sun. If it orbited at a similar speed to the inner planets its orbit would like be clear by now.

The astronomers need shooting I think, I am of the opinion that if the mass is large enough to bind the planet in a sphere then its a planet which technically rules Saturn and Jupiter out as they are mainly composed of gas, their cores could be really small therefore making them rocks not planets.

That definition would give us a LOT more planets in the solar system. Some larger than Pluto.
