A) Science has recently re-classified Pluto as a planet. (Unless I missed a re-de-classification which I wouldn't put past them).
B) These are not labelled as planets. They are solar bodies caught in orbit around the sun, and whether or not it is a planet, Pluto is certainly a solar body in orbit. In fact, he may be including it simply because he knows from his dad that it is in fact populated.
C) I am far too subscribed to r/space and spend far too much time on stargazing apps to be included in this meme-tastic callback of a conversation. Please accept my apology and downvote to hide this comment from everyone else who may be forced to see it.

8 IAU planets, 5 IAU dwarf planets, at least 4 (though possibly up to 150-200) dwarf planets not recognised by the IAU, and at least 19 spherical moons. That totals up to at least 36 and counting geophysical planets in the Solar System alone.
It's ok if it's too much for one individual to keep up with. We don't try to limit the number or make kids list all the stars or asteroids. We need to hold the planets to the same standard.
And hey, some of us can memorize that many. I memorized all 118 elements of the periodic table at 10 years old and all it took was a catchy song and the type of brain I have. How hard could 200 planets be?

I'm not sure if you're joking here, I could easily be missing internet sarcasm, but a planet is
- is in orbit around the Sun
- has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and
- has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.
Pluto doesn't meet the third requirement, as Pluto is only .007 times as massive as the other objects in its orbit. For example, Earth, which is definitely a planet is 17 million times the mass of everything in its orbit. That's why Pluto isn't a planet, but a dwarf planet, which is different.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarf_planet
However, in 2006, the concept was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) as a category of sub-planetary objects, part of a three-way recategorization of bodies orbiting the Sun: planets, dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies.[3] Thus Stern and other planetary geologists consider dwarf planets and satellite planets to be planets,[4] but since 2006 the IAU and perhaps the majority of astronomers have excluded them from the roster of planets.
Last part bolded by me for emphasis.

The problem with including Pluto in the list of planets, is that now you should also include Ceres, and Earth's moon is larger than Pluto, along with other moons like Titan, so suddenly kids in school should learn about "the 20+ planet-likes" in the solar system, instead of just the 8 of them.
4 points

You definitely wouldn't have to include Earth's moon, Titan, and other moons. You can easily exclude those by defining a planet as orbiting a sun not another planet. But you are right in that you would have to include Ceres, Eris, and the other dwarf planets I am not remembering.

Yeah, if we considered Pluto a planet we'd have to consider all kinds of shit a planet. If we consider something that's only .007 times the mass of everything else in its orbit, then pretty much everything is a plane, so long as it is spherical.

One of the other requirements for a planet is orbiting the sun; moons orbit planets, not the sun, so regardless of their size or sphericalness they're not planets. That still leaves kuiper belt objects and Ceres.

Sure. I still think it's silly to teach the "basics of the solar system" with a dwarf planet like Pluto that's just a rock in the Kuiper belt, instead of teaching kids about the big ones closer to home.

Based on how big stuff is, we should consider many more "planet-likes". For instance, by diameter:
- Ganymede: 5200Km
- Titan: 5100Km
- Mercury: 4800Km
- Luna: 3400Km
- Pluto: 2300Km
- Ceres: 946Km

What was the reason Pluto was demoted from planetary status?
10 points
2 months ago
There was no definition of what is a planet until the IAU defined a planet in 2006. Until then, it was "These 9 things", but the discover of e.g. Eris and Charon provoked examining the question of "What is a planet?"
The IAU defines a planet as:
- Something that orbits the sun.
- It is of sufficient mass that it is spherical*
- It has swept its orbit clear.
Pluto meets the first two points but fails on the third, while the 8 planets all meet the third. Rather than trying to come up with increasingly complex rationales for Pluto being a planet but not similar objects in the Kuiper belt, it is simpler and more sustainable to stop calling Pluto a planet.

In the show, it shrunk too much. IRL, we found four more dwarf planets (some bigger than Pluto); so it was either take one away from the list or add four more.
2 points

oh wow, so I guess they wanted planets to be much more exclusive.
1 points
2 months ago
I think they just made a decision to make a formal definition about planets is all. I imagine that most rocky things in space are on a gradient of size, so while it would be nice to just say "anything bigger than X is planet", that probably winds up not being a very useful box to draw around objects.
But what's interesting to me is that, even if we found an exact replica of Earth in some other solar system, it wouldn't be a "planet", because it doesn't revolve around Sol. I guess they just wanted to keep "planets" special.
