I really shouldn't do this, but do you consider Eris a planet? Or Sedna? Or Ceres? or Makemake? Or Haumea? Or... well, you get the idea.

 

OT: It's Flower.

Blame OP. I don't think we should classify Planets based on their size but their function. But I'm a shit at astronomy.


Well there is no set size limit for what constitutes a planet. A planet is a celestial body which:

*Orbits the sun

*Is not a satelite (moon)

*Has enough mass to assume a round shape

*Has cleared the neighbourhood around it's orbit.

And if I'm correct, Pluto fails at point 4.

But what function are you talking about?
