    Pluto is not a planet

    There. I said it! It's just not. It's a dwarf planet. Consider this: If Pluto were a planet, then so would Eris be a planet, which has almost the same diameter and more mass. And both these have a smaller diameter and mass than our moon, less than 25% the mass and less than 70% the diameter.
