Planetary scientists tend to consider Pluto, and those large Kuiper Belt Objects, to be “planets.” It’s just certain astronomers, who don’t usually study planets, who voted to remove them from planethood. https://www.ucf.edu/news/pluto-planet-research/?amp https://www.ucf.edu/news/pluto-planet-research/?amp
Pluto is an impressive planetary system with a bunch of Moons and active geology. I’m gonna call it a planet.
Also kind of funny, but this guy who is obsessed with finding “Planet 9” (which doesn’t seem to exist) is also the one who tried and succeeded at demoting Pluto.
