Neptune does not clear Pluto's orbit.

So, everybody decided to ditch Pluto twelve years ago, and while everyone had reasons, I just discovered the alleged real reason the other day--Pluto does not clear its own orbit.

Am I going to explain that?

No.

This scientist says that the definition that disqualified Pluto as a planet does not make sense and does not have a foundation: https://phys.org/news/2018-09-pluto-...ed-planet.html

I do not know if that guy mentioned it, but if Pluto does not clear its own orbit, neither does Neptune.

Neil Degrassy Tyson says that if we classify every spherical body in the solar system as a planet we would have fifty.

Nobody calls Endor a planet, even though it had adequate gravity and supported life. I bet you do not even know the name of the host planet!

Actually, the planet is Endor. Oh well.

1. Adequate mass to become spherical.
2. Not orbiting a larger planet.
3. ????
4. Planet!
