I think Pluto having been widely regarded as a planet before and having a visible heart shape on it’s surface is an easier sell. I say they are both planets.
What’s the problem with having many many planets in our solar system?
You also can’t find a good problem with this, can you?
@[email protected] is it better for space/societal advancement if we have a nice neat small finite number of planets in our solar system, if even politicians can remember how many there are so Earth feels a little less like a statistic?
You don’t ever see people calling for Ceres to be proclaimed planet, all they care about is Pluto.

Cool. Can you name all planets in the Solar System, in the correct order?
I can’t.
Yeah. To answer your question, I see that as the problem. If you don’t, well, we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one.
Do you know why you apply this logic to planets, but not stars?
I also can’t name all the planets outside of our solar system, but that seems to be less of an issue for you.

Kinda stretching here, IDK
