Easy definition of a planet:
A planet is a body that orbits the Sun, is massiveenough for its own
gravity to make it round, and has "cleared its neighbourhood" of smaller
objects around its orbit.
If you had asked Galileo or Copernicus whether Pluto was a planet they
would have said "What are you talking about"
If you asked an ancient Greek they would have said "You cant see it so how
can it be a planet"
I thought Pluto was Donald Duck's dog.
So you don't know about cartoons either. Pluto was Mickey Mouse's dog.
Don't drink and drive. Unless you have a good cup holder.
