size wasn't the only issue leading to it's demotion though...

Pluto is a planet! It's like saying people with growing issues are to small to be humans.

There's more to a planet than size.

It is to bacteria... Hmmm, maybe it isn't.

I think that too many people are basing their arguements on size (I know, me included  ) but people are forgetting that it wasn't just size that resulted it Pluto's change in rank. I know that "dwarf" usually makes people think of size (whether they realize it or not) but as a few users reminded me, the orbit pattern of Pluto also helped in its demotion.

Here is a new fact against Pluto being a planet that I found! Scientists estimate that there are over 70,000 objects with compositions similar to Pluto's in Kuiper's Belt (the belt it is located in). First FY9 was discovered. I think that it was the first of the space objects like Pluto to be found, and I think that was when Pluto's classification was questioned. After that Eris was discovered, and with about 25% more mass than Pluto, astronomers officially demoted Pluto to a dwarf planet, along with others like it sun as Eris.

Now THERE'S something to think about.

Also there are asteroids that have moons 

Something to think about? I didn't understand a word of that

Oh... must've missed that post.

Keep Pluto As A Planet!

its a dwarf planet and proven !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pluto isnt a planet, i mean look at it! it looks like our moon.
